Consultancy to Support Phnom Penh Capital Administration (PPCA) for Smart City Hub Project

Announcement Description

Phnom Penh City Hall is currently working on setting up the Phnom Penh Smart City Hub, with the main goal of implement Phnom Penh's Smart City roadmap and deliver on its vision of "Phnom Penh, a smart capital that uses information and technology to meet the needs of businesses and communities more sustainably".

Phnom Penh is a capital city at a pivotal point in its urban development: with a population that has been growing steadily for the past 25 years, and which is predominantly young, economic growth that has been recovering rapidly since the end of the pandemic, and a territory that is undergoing rapid transformation, this is a crucial time to develop "smart" solutions, whether high- or low-tech. Innovation lies at the heart of the Smart City: it's not simply a question of applying technologies that have been tried and tested in other cities, but above all of enabling local players to develop tailor-made solutions to Phnom Penh's urban challenges.

The Municipality of Phnom Penh is fully engaged in the process of localizing and operationalizing the Smart City concept through the elaboration of the Smart City roadmap, supported by the AIMF/EU strategic partnership and adopted in 2021. It is now seeking new ways to implement this ambitious roadmap, which suggests to look towards innovation to address urban challenges identified in the Phnom Penh Sustainable City Plan (2018-2030) and the Phnom Penh Smart & Sustainable City strategic roadmap (2022-2035).

To this end, the city has identified the need to design and bring to life a platform for sharing information and bringing together urban and innovation players from both the public and private sectors for coordinating and supporting the effective smart city projects development and implementation.

The project is co-financed by AIMF and Phnom Penh city Hall. 40% of the budget is dedicated to creation of the Smart City Hub working spaces.
