MTI links Cambodia to help Sri Lankan companies enter

The nascent stage and high growth of the Cambodian economy is attracting significant regional business interests and this provides Sri Lankan businesses an opportunity to be an early mover in the development phase of this fast emerging Mekong valley region, a top consultancy firm has said.

MTI Consulting, with experience in the ASEAN region, has further strengthened its in-country associate relationship with Market Strategy and Development (MDS) via a recent roadshow in the capital Phnom Penh, MTI said in a media statement.

MSD is Cambodia's premiere marketing and social research consulting firm with over 300 trained and experienced field researchers stationed in key urban and rural centres throughout the country. Over the 14 years, MSD has undertaken numerous market, social science, and socio-economic development research projects independently and through joint proposals with research/ consulting firms.

MTI partnered with MSD in a strategic move to build its international network especially in the Mekong Valley which has been the focus of many existing clients of MTI. As MTI's Associate, MSD acts as the on ground market research provider for projects in Cambodia and vice versa for the regions MTI operates in.

To further build on the partnership between MTI and MSD, the MTI members Consultant Naushervan Beg and Business Analyst Gayan Dias met with the MSD team in Cambodia. The meeting took place at the MSD Office with MSD Research Manager Todd Hunkin and Associate Research Manager Michael Hopewell, the statement added.

During the meeting, the MTI team was able to get a full appreciation of MSD's operations plus was able to draw valuable insights for a study that the MTI team was on assignment for.
