The election of Gabriele Faja as Chairman of EuroCham Cambodia marks an exciting new era for the chamber and further highlights the increasing presence of Italian businesses in Cambodia. With a strong background in entrepreneurship and leadership, Faja brings a fresh perspective to EuroCham’s role in fostering international business collaborations and strengthening the European business community in the Kingdom.
A Vision for EuroCham’s Future
As the newly elected Chairman, Faja is set to steer EuroCham towards greater engagement, inclusivity, and advocacy. His leadership vision emphasizes:
Strengthening Member Support: Enhancing the chamber’s role in representing and supporting its diverse members across industries.
Encouraging Sustainable Business Practices: Promoting responsible and sustainable growth among European enterprises in Cambodia.
Expanding EuroCham’s Influence: Deepening collaborations with key stakeholders, including government institutions, investors, and other business associations.
His approach aligns with the chamber’s long-standing mission to create a thriving and competitive business environment that benefits both European investors and Cambodia’s economic landscape.
The Growing Influence of Italian Business
Faja’s appointment also shines a spotlight on the growing footprint of Italian businesses in Cambodia, spanning diverse industries such as manufacturing, fashion, food and beverage, and education. Today, three Italian members serve on the new EuroCham Board, reinforcing Italy’s active participation in Cambodia’s business ecosystem.
These members include:
Gabriele Faja, Chairman of ItaCham and now Chairman of EuroCham, leading efforts to enhance collaboration between European businesses and Cambodia.
Dr. Riccardo Corrado, Vice Chair of ItaCham and newly elected board member of EuroCham, bringing extensive experience in Education, Technology, and Business Strategy.
Martina Palma, CEO of Decathlon Cambodia and a EuroCham board member.
The presence of Italian enterprises continues to bring innovation, high-quality craftsmanship, and expertise to the local market. From artisanal food products to advanced industrial solutions, Italian companies are playing a vital role in driving economic growth and cultural exchange between the two nations.
A Stronger European Business Community
With a new leadership team in place and an increasingly diverse Board of Directors, EuroCham is set to further strengthen its advocacy efforts and enhance networking opportunities for European and Italian businesses alike. Under Faja’s chairmanship, the chamber will continue to champion investment-friendly policies, business development initiatives, and sectoral growth opportunities.
As Cambodia continues its path towards economic expansion, EuroCham’s role remains pivotal in ensuring that European and Italian businesses thrive, contribute, and remain an integral part of the country’s business landscape.
The next two years will be instrumental in shaping EuroCham’s impact, and with Faja at the helm, the future looks bright for European and Italian enterprises in Cambodia.
