The catalyst for business opportunities in Cambodia and ASEAN

We have been collaborating with Confluences throughout multiple assignments in Cambodia, having the chance to access their insightful knowledge of the Cambodian context as well as their reliable local network. With their professional and entrepreneurial team, they supported us in understanding and connecting with local businesses, also successfully undertaking highly critical on-field activities such as in-depth interviews and focus groups involving local business owners. If you want to do business in Cambodia or if you need market access services, Confluences is your ideal partner. No matter how tough the conditions, they always manage to come through and deliver excellent results!

Establishing a business in a country requires a lot of information, a good analysis of the market, building a competent and loyal team, and more... in short, it is a real adventure with all its risks. It is precisely this risk, which we try to anticipate and limit, that falls within Confluences field of expertise. Their knowledge of the market, their networks, an adapted strategy, all of this help make Confluences a key player for a successful establishment in Cambodia. This was the choice of Asia Data Destruction, the Asian leader in data destruction.

Confluences provided us with several customised sectoral market studies. Thanks to these studies, we were able to clearly understand the Cambodian market and identify the main players. The information provided is precise, relevant and complete. It would have been impossible to carry out this work without the big business network that Soreasmey and his team have. Confluences' commercial approach is dynamic, creative and proactive. For any future commercial mission in Cambodia, we will count on a close collaboration with the Confluences team.

I’ve known Confluences through Soreasmey during a networking program, Capital Market Academy GMS, organised by the Stock Exchange of Thailand since 2018. Soreasmey is truly resourceful when it comes to Cambodia given his expertise in business entry to the country and his extensive network. He and his team are usually my first call when I need intel or have questions on businesses in Cambodia.

Confluences brings a world-class operation to the Kingdom of Cambodia with passionate and highly skilled management and professionals. It is a leading player in offering entry point services and ongoing operational products in the Kingdom. The company has exceptional insights to the Cambodian market and has constructed a unique network. I have great faith in the quality of services and applaud the team for its success and continued development and growth.

We have used Confluences services for our MIST program, an accelerator start-up program in the tourism sector. Its team of consultants successfully organised market Access tours for four regional start-ups and also drafted feasibility studies. Their expertise in the Cambodian market and both public and private institutions secured the development of our program.

A highly valued player in business development in Cambodia, Confluences professionally meets the requirements of partners to access the Cambodian market for trade and investment. The International Organisation of the Francophonie, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia, has benefited from Confluences' expertise and services. Confluences has a very deep knowledge of the Cambodian market and its private sector actors and Cambodian government institutions.

We reached out to Confluences as part of a market entry project. Their initial market study was packed with insights and data that allowed us to make an informed decision, and they followed up with custom solutions to help us on our next steps. Their flexibility and can-do attitude, combined with an excellent knowledge of the local market, made them the perfect Cambodian Market Access partner. 10/10 would recommend.

Confluences is a true mover in Cambodia. Having worked with Soreasmey and his team on various occasions and projects, I always met Soreasmey as a calm and thoughtful mediator who understands the requirements for successful interaction between partners. One of the first company's in the Kingdom to bring a series of start-ups to the market, Soreasmey and his team have a fantastic network and can count on the support of many from within the local French and international business communities. Confluences is your perfect entry point into the growing Cambodian market.

Confluences is the natural outcome of what Smey (Soreasmey) and his teams are bringing to the country: great projects and opportunities and a great platform for young professionals to grow. One of the most trustworthy go-to experts, team and company for FDI in Cambodia and the Mekong region. I recommend Smey and Confluences like a family member.

For our new Ucare Pharmacy at Chip Mong Sen Sok Mall, we wanted the best quality PVC floor available in Cambodia. From the store’s aspect, for sure, but also for its sustainability, as our previous choice of floor used to suffer a lot with in-store traffic. We were very satisfied with the quality of the Gerflor PVC floor in our first project at Ucare Pharmacy Norodom, that’s why we selected the same floor for this new project. During the fit-out period, we could fully count on the Confluences team’s reactivity, and the 110 square meters were installed in less than 3 days. With a need to set up standard processes as much as possible, Ucare Pharmacy would be happy to establish a long-term partnership with Gerflor and Confluences.

I have been working on the renovation of our pediatric ward at Royal Phnom Penh Hospital with Confluences Trading. It was not an easy project but I can confirm that their team was very professional and dedicated to the final result. I would definitely recommend them and the Gerflor lines of products for any healthcare project.

As one of the prominent international law firms in Cambodia, we have been working closely with Confluences over several years.

Confluences teams' learn about new technologies quickly, are very proactive and available, and have provided strong support to our efforts in Cambodia.

I have been in business with Confluences for a few years now and on different subjects and projects -but all related to Cambodia. Their professionalism and extended knowledge of the Cambodian markets and their stakeholders make Confluences the ideal point of entry for any investment. Congratulations to Confluences team.

When one wants to invest in an emerging market and the rules are uncertain, the best thing that can happen is that you find people you can trust, who are competent, and who have established relationships with key stakeholders to open doors or gather information you need to enter the market. Soreasmey and his team are these rare people. Sometimes that's what you need to get going, people who listen, offer guidance and know the place so it becomes yours too.

Gerflor professional flooring ranges have only been available in Cambodia recently but thanks to Confluences Trading team dynamism and its technical involvements, upcoming Gerflor’s project are going quickly.

We look forward to creating more values with Confluences in 2022, committing ourselves to shape our clients’ futures in Cambodia through construction projects and continuous servicing.

We have tasked Confluences with a first market access mission. The objective is to evaluate the local market potential as well as identify suitable potential partners. Despite a challenging market environment, Confluences have demonstrated that they have an in-dept local market knowhow as well as a network of the main luxury and retail stakeholders in Cambodia. Confluences has a competent team, is attentive and proactive. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to enter the Cambodia market.

I have been partnering with Confluences for Cambodian market penetration services since 2018. Confluences team is delightful to work with, always professional and well recognised in the business.

I would certainly recommend Confluences to any of my clients who want to access Cambodia market.

Confluences has a powerful network and strong relationship with various groups of successful businesspeople around GMS countries and ASEAN. Not only will Confluences offer many scopes of advisory services in doing business in Cambodia, but they also are able to help their clients get additional business opportunities in this growing region.

It is a real pleasure to work with Confluences. They have been a real door-opener for us since the creation of our Cambodian office. Their professionalism and commitment were key values that made our collaboration successful.

The contribution of Confluences has been a great help in our commercial approach in Cambodia. Thanks to its network, Confluences has a great knowledge of the private sector and its actors, which allowed us to quickly obtain a mapping of potential partners. We were then able to benefit from a relevant recommendation that led to an agreement and a quick implementation.

We have been working with Confluences on ambitious cultural projects for several years now. Thanks to their knowledge of the Cambodian institutions and stakeholders, to their perfect command of all the processes and regulations in Cambodia, these cultural programs could come to fruition and become real. Congratulations to the Confluences team!

I have been working in a consultancy service with Confluences for more than a year now. The professionalism and extended knowledge of Cambodia and its stakeholders make Confluences the ideal for any international consultancy companies. Big congratulations to the Confluences team.

Lim and Partner has more than 10 years of experience in headhunting, assessment, and coaching, but it would have been pointless to try to set up in Cambodia by adapting its technical skills to a culture and market that we knew little about. This is where the partnership with Confluences made sense and the alliance between motivated and very competent consultants and our team allows us today to respond very efficiently to the needs of our clients, even the most demanding!

Our ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA office in Bangkok is also covering the Cambodian market. Since we do not avail of an employee on the ground in Cambodia it is difficult for us to do market research and organise business meetings. We have therefore been cooperating with Confluences for some time already, particularly in the preparation and implementation of Austrian Trade delegations where Confluences proved to be a knowledgeable and reliable partner.

Our adventure started with the aim to expand our company in the Asian market supported by Confluences. A feasibility study followed and our ASEAN team is still incubated at Confluences. We found them to be trustworthy partners, a consistency in processes, and we hope Confluences will stay by our side for upcoming projects.

I've been working at Confluences as a resident company for one and half years. Confluences team has been continuously demonstrating its professionalism and support towards our start-up Yekowave, to help us grow our network and succeed. Their knowledge of the Cambodian market and their understanding of local business culture helped us a lot in making some important decisions. Through Confluences, you will get all the services you need to really focus on your core business to make it grow. It’s always great to have a chat with them!

Confluences is the Southeast Asia partner we needed since it accelerates links with partners, clients and potential business providers. The right partner at the center of opportunities in the Kingdom of Wonder.

Having support from Confluences was a key factor in the success of setting up our engineering program in Cambodia. They gave us successful help in communication, in relation to many companies, and did a market study. The Confluences team is competent and responsive. Soreasmey is not just a simple business partner, he is a trusted partner with strong professional skills.

Consistency, communication and competence. Confluences team has helped our business, including myself personally. Trust and credibility: genuine, always truthful and always keeping me reliably informed.

Our startup was awarded an Access market tour in Cambodia through the MIST program. That’s how we met the Confluences team. For five days they helped us secure key meetings, both with institutions, but also low-profile tour operators. They perfectly understood our needs, and matched us with local actors, which helped us start our operations in Cambodia in the best possible way.

Firstly, Confluences was only a legal address but then our relationship strongly evolved. Our Cambodian team is now incubated and gets administrative and commercial support from Confluences. Its toolbox approach answers our entrepreneurial problematics in the Cambodian market.

A French-Cambodian company which is well connected in CLMV and knows the Cambodian market very well. If you want to do business in Cambodia or neighboring counties, Confluences is the one you should go for.

We worked with Confluences Trading to equip our new art center "Ikigai Art Center" with professional flooring that can be adapted to all types of artistic practices. The Trading team installed 80 square meters of Gerflor flooring, a very resistant and easy to maintain floor. We are delighted with this service, the team is very professional and responsive to our needs.

‍

We called upon Confluences Trading for the renovation of our squash court. We, as well as our customers, are very satisfied with the 120 square meters of Gerflor flooring installed. The Confluences teams were able to advise us and provide us with the best flooring solution, specially designed for indoor sports. From the first contact to the installation and the study of the project, the Confluences Trading team was very professional and reactive.

I collaborated with Confluences during our establishment in Cambodia. Firstly, to aid us with our market research and to facilitate the discovery of this country and its economy. Thereafter we relied on Confluences to develop and to launch our activity in Cambodia. Today we are still happy residents of Confluences. Confluences is well equipped with a solid network in Cambodia and great experience. They will be able to advise and guide you in the best way possible to facilitate your establishment.

We have found Confluences to be a reliable and exhaustive source of information for our market approach in Cambodia. We look forward to deeper cooperation during the implementation phase.

I knew Confluences through Soreasmey, who is well known for his active engagement in the business community. Since the beginning, Soreasmey and his team have shown tremendous energy and passion in their work to develop Confluences into what it has become today: a premium point of entry for any companies, or entrepreneurs intending to enter our Cambodian market. I am proud of his work.

I have been very fortunate to meet with Confluences who supported us to launch our new company in Cambodia. They are a very experienced professionals with deep knowledge of the Cambodian business environment. They have great communication skills with strong organisational capabilities.

Confluences was an excellent partner during my time as head of Legrand in Cambodia. The team greatly helped my personal integration into the country through administrative paperwork, also getting all business licenses settled in order to have a fast operational environment.They also provided business opportunities by bringing synergies between different French or French-speaking companies to work together in Cambodia; for anyone willing to explore the Cambodian market, I strongly recommend contacting them.
