On June 18, 2025, the Yangtze River Delta (Cambodia) Special Economic Zone and Shoebill Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement. This cooperation marks the in-depth cooperation between the two parties in serving the overseas manufacturing industry in all dimensions, providing a one-stop solution from park site selection to factory planning and implementation for the global manufacturing industry to go overseas in Cambodia, and jointly promoting the intelligent upgrade of the special economic zone.
The Yangtze River Delta (Cambodia) Special Economic Zone was officially established in 2024 and has been officially approved by the Cambodian government. The zone is located in Cambodia's Svay Rieng Province, close to Xining, Long An Province and Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh Port. It is located in an important industrial and trade hub in Southeast Asia, providing one-stop factory construction and business services for enterprises. The first phase of the industrial zone covers an area of 400 hectares, and the second phase covers an area of 450 hectares. It has complete infrastructure and supporting services, aiming to attract global investors and promote regional economic development.
The special economic zone has significant location advantages, abundant labor resources with obvious cost advantages, complete infrastructure and preferential tax policies. The special zone provides a variety of land and factory leasing and purchasing models to meet the needs of different enterprises, and provides six one-stop enterprise services. These advantages provide an ideal landing environment and development platform for the shoebill.
In this cooperation, Shoebill will give full play to its dual advantages of global factory planning and design capabilities and domestic manufacturing influence, and deeply integrate with the special economic zone. On the one hand, it will provide enterprises in the special zone with a full range of smart factory planning and construction plans to help enterprises achieve intelligent upgrades. On the other hand, it will work with the special economic zone to provide domestic manufacturing industries that are willing to go to Cambodia with full-link services such as factory construction consultation in Cambodia, inspection reception, site selection suggestions, land sales, land leasing, factory leasing, factory planning, factory construction, benchmark factory design, and on-site construction support.
