The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) has introduced the One ASEAN Startup Award 2025: Bridge to Brilliance, designed to assist high-potential startups throughout the region, with particular attention to Cambodia. Startups in Cambodia are invited to participate in the Vietnam Pre-Event, which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Two winners from each pre-event will be awarded a research grant to facilitate business growth and contribute to ERIA’s research efforts.

Startups eligible for this initiative must either have operations established or planned in Cambodia or in other specified countries. They should be within the Pre-Seed to Series B funding stages and present a research topic for collaboration with ERIA. The deadline for the Vietnam Pre-Event, which includes participation from Cambodia, is March 30, 2025. This initiative offers Cambodian startups opportunities for funding, research collaboration, and expansion into regional markets.
