The article titled “Fostering Information Engineering: Is Long-term Investment the Answer for Cambodia?” from Cambodianess features an interview with Dr. Riccardo Corrado, our vice-chairman and Associate Professor at CamEd Business School.
Our Vice Chairman emphasized the critical importance of developing local expertise in information engineering—a field encompassing software, electronics, and telecommunications engineering—for Cambodia’s digital advancement. He pointed out that while Cambodia has made strides in digitalization, significant gaps remain in infrastructure and skilled human resources. He also noted that few students pursue studies in electronics or telecommunications, areas vital for technological development. He warned that without a robust pool of local engineers, Cambodia may struggle to attract foreign investment and develop domestic technologies.
Drawing from Italy’s experience, he also suggested that a collaborative approach involving both public and private sectors is essential. He advocated for long-term investments in education and training to build a skilled workforce capable of supporting and sustaining digital growth. The interview underscores that fostering information engineering is not just about technological progress but also about economic development and competitiveness in the global market.
