As the number of co-working spaces rises in the Kingdom, Comm.ON is the new kid on the block that offers its own collaborative and activity workspace for aspiring entrepreneurs. Hosted by SmallWorld Cambodia in collaboration with Open Hands, the newly designed space that was launched in June takes over the former open space at KOTRA. We speak to Jung Kim, a Comm.ON manager and delegate of KOTRA and Open Hands, to find out more about its progress since its opening. This interview has been edited for flow, clarity, and length. Can you tell us more about Comm.ON and what it does? Comm.ON is a co-working space operating in collaboration with KOTRA (Korea Trade Investment-Promotion Agency), Open Hands (Korean social enterprise) and SmallWorld (Cambodian co-working space). Our goal is to support business startups in Phnom Penh. For the first step to our goal, we try to make connections with business startups and prepare helpful events and activities for them. How did the idea for Comm.ON come about?
