Cambodia evokes images of ancient temples, rice paddies, smiling kids and orange-robed monks. This, along with its recent tragic history, draws millions of visitors to the Kingdom of Wonder each year. While this big history is what people normally associate with Cambodia, what may be overlooked is the opportunity, growth and hope of this evolving country.
Cambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when people think about innovative IT solutions. Since 2010, Web Essentials has created a social business model that delivers quality digital experiences to international clients while growing local talent.
