Meet the Third Batch of the Innovate Cambodia Accelerator Program
We’re proud to introduce Batch 3 of the Innovate Cambodia Accelerator Program, in partnership with the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and AUPP Technology Center.
With solutions spanning multiple industries including AI, fintech, and healthcare, this batch of digital startups reflects the diversity of Cambodia’s entrepreneurial talent and the opportunities emerging within its rapidly developing innovation ecosystem.
Congratulations to the Batch 3 startups:
Atelier
ATELIER is building the digital supply chain infrastructure for ASEAN’s $18B rural retail market by directly connecting brands with local shop owners. Powered by our Rural Logistics OS (ROS) and semi-JIT moving-warehouse model, we optimize fragmented distribution across unpaved and analog environments.
Delightech
Delightech is a Cambodian fintech company that empowers licensed financial institutions with secure digital lending technology. Through innovative platforms like Luyleun, we make financial services more accessible, convenient, and inclusive for everyone.
Farmagain Holdings
Farmagain combines satellite AI with proprietary hardware to turn field data into actionable, high-yield decisions for Southeast Asia’s smallholders. We’ve already cracked the toughest market hurdle, achieving profitability in FY'25 across 4,000 acres in India, Indonesia and Thailand, backed by deep government integration. Our capital-efficient playbook is built on high retention, combining software margins with proprietary, sustainable agri-input hardware lock-in. Cambodia’s un-mechanised, multi-commodity landscape is our next logical scale target to capture a dominant, regional market position.
iSavePoint
iSavePoint is a cloud-based loyalty platform using QR code and Telegram technology integration. We provide SMEs ready-to-use marketing tools for customer engagement and retention. We serve the food & beverage sector, retail & mart sector, personal care sector, auto & service sector and learning & leisure sector.
Lida Eve
Lida Eve is Cambodia’s award-winning AI-powered virtual influencer and digital character IP, created by Macro Computing Solutions Co., Ltd. The venture combines AI character technology with human-led creative direction and bilingual Khmer-English storytelling to deliver brand campaigns, social-impact communication and original entertainment. Lida Eve won Best Digital Content of the Year at the Cambodia Digital Awards 2025 and has since expanded into AI-powered micro-drama through the 24-episode “Love Exam.” We are now building a scalable regional model for virtual talent, branded storytelling and short-form entertainment.
LocalGrew
LocalGrew, a Marketplace that protects our local farmers' income, at the same time, being a trusted source to purchase vegetables for all consumers.
NextGen Hotel
NEXTGEN Hotel is a Cambodian hotel booking platform serving more than 350 travel agencies through our partners, while also helping companies, ministries, and institutions book hotels directly. Our platform offers competitive worldwide hotel prices, flexible payment options, and local support. We are now expanding from business bookings into the consumer market, with our service for individual travelers planned to launch by the end of September 2026. Our goal is to grow NEXTGEN Hotel into a leading Cambodian booking platform serving businesses and travelers across Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
QlinicOS
QlinicOS is the operating system for modern clinics and hospitals. Configure how your facility operates. We run every workflow, from registration to discharge, automatically and compliantly.
quicknews
quicknews is a Cambodian short-video platform where only approved creators publish and every video shows its sources. That verification makes it a place regulated advertisers — hospitals, clinics, financial firms — can legally reach young audiences, which funds creators to do careful work instead of chasing virality. Live at quicknews.tech with 96 published videos, 20 approved creators and 10 paying advertisers.
Shieldbase
AI Operating System for the Enterprise with a strong focus on data privacy, governance and automation.
SmeanAI
Smean AI is Cambodia's Khmer-language AI note-taker, turning meetings and conversations into reports, summaries, slides, and infographics automatically. It was built because international tools handle Khmer poorly, especially the heavy code-switching common in real Cambodian speech, leaving 17+ million Khmer speakers underserved. Beyond note-taking, SMEAN is laying the foundation for Khmer AI more broadly; a scribe for Cambodia that turns spoken language into structured, usable knowledge. The vision: become Cambodia's leading AI B2B SaaS company and the default language-AI layer for Khmer.
Throughout the program, the founders will take part in workshops, mentorship sessions, and networking opportunities designed to support their growth and regional expansion. We look forward to supporting their journey as they build and scale from Cambodia.
