1. Core Positioning of the Project
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, AI Factory, GPU Cluster, enterprise data backup, cross-border data services, and the digital economy, Data Centers have become strategic infrastructure assets that are highly attractive to global enterprises, investment institutions, technology companies, and infrastructure funds.
This project is located in the surrounding area of Techo International Airport (KTI), Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and is based on approximately four hectares of land resources. Techo International Airport is Cambodia’s newest major international gateway. According to official information, the airport is located approximately 20 kilometers south of Phnom Penh, covers approximately 2,600 hectares, and serves as an important aviation infrastructure connecting Cambodia with regional and global markets.
This project combines CACC’s practical experience in Cambodian law, investment, company establishment, government procedures, tax incentives, citizenship pathway planning, and project implementation, assisting investors in completing the full process required from project entry to normal operation.
The core value of this project is:
Land resources + project company + citizenship pathway planning + lawful land ownership arrangement + government approvals + investment incentives + tax exemption application + construction permits + equipment importation + operational compliance + normal business operation conditions.
What investors obtain is a Data Center investment opportunity that can be planned, applied for, constructed, operated, and developed on a long-term basis.
CACC’s role in this project is to assist investors in transforming land resources around Techo International Airport into a complete Data Center project with legal structure, investment structure, nationality planning, landholding arrangement, government procedures, tax incentive application pathway, and operational conditions.
2. Why Choose the Surrounding Area of Phnom Penh Techo International Airport, Cambodia?
Techo International Airport is Cambodia’s newest major international gateway. Its official English name is Techo International Airport, and its airport code is KTI. Airlines have also transferred Phnom Penh flight operations to this airport.
For Data Centers, AI infrastructure, enterprise cloud facilities, regional disaster recovery centers, and digital industry projects, the surrounding area of Techo International Airport has the following strategic significance:
First, convenient international business access
Foreign investors, equipment suppliers, technical teams, engineering teams, client representatives, and financial institution personnel will find it relatively convenient to visit the project site for inspections, meetings, acceptance procedures, and operational management.
Second, strong potential for future urban development
Large international airports usually drive the development of roads, logistics, warehousing, hotels, commercial facilities, industrial parks, offices, and living facilities. As Phnom Penh’s new aviation gateway, Techo International Airport gives the surrounding area medium- to long-term development potential for infrastructure-type projects.
Third, suitable for foreign investment positioning
A Data Center project must clearly explain its geographical location, transportation conditions, regional development, infrastructure, and future scalability. Positioning the project as being located in the surrounding area of Phnom Penh Techo International Airport (KTI), Cambodia is more precise and more suitable for Google SEO than simply describing it as being “near Phnom Penh’s new airport.”
Fourth, opportunity to connect with ASEAN’s digital economy development
Cambodia will need more mature data centers, cloud services, enterprise backup, fintech, cross-border e-commerce, AI computing power, and data security infrastructure in the future. This project may serve as an entry point for investors to enter Cambodia and the ASEAN digital infrastructure market.
Fifth, suitable for long-term industrial asset planning
Once a Data Center project has completed its land, approvals, equipment, customers, operations, and tax structure, it may generate not only rental and service income but also financing potential, valuation enhancement, equity cooperation, and industrial M&A value.
3. Project Planning Scope
This project is recommended to be planned as a complete Data Center implementation solution, including:
Four-hectare land resource integration
Land title and land use condition review
Preliminary assessment of investor citizenship pathway
Assistance with Cambodian citizenship application procedures in accordance with law
Design of lawful land ownership pathway
Project company establishment
Investment structure design
Land ownership, land use, or transitional arrangement
Data Center project business plan
Government approval pathway planning
CDC / QIP investment incentive application
Tax exemption and import tax incentive application
Construction permits and related government procedures
Coordination of electricity, network, fire safety, environmental protection, engineering, and security compliance
Equipment importation and customs compliance arrangements
Establishment of subsequent operational compliance systems
Assistance in enabling the project to reach a legally constructed, legally operated, and sustainable business status
The focus of this project is to integrate land resources, legal procedures, citizenship pathway, land ownership arrangements, government approvals, tax incentives, and operational conditions into a complete investment project.
The core questions that investors are concerned about include:
Can this land be legally used for the project?
Is the land title clear?
Does the investor have an opportunity to apply for Cambodian citizenship in accordance with law?
After obtaining Cambodian citizenship, can the investor legally own land?
Can the project company be established?
Can government procedures be processed?
Can tax incentives be applied for?
Is there a pathway for construction permits?
Can equipment be imported?
Can electricity and network conditions be assessed?
Can the project operate normally after completion?
Can the project be financed, cooperated on, leased, sold through equity transfer, or continuously operated in the future?
These are the real issues that determine whether the project succeeds or fails, and they are exactly the issues that CACC assists with.
4. Possible Project Development Directions
This project can be designed into several development directions depending on the investor’s capital scale, technical capability, equipment resources, and customer needs.
First. AI Data Center
This is suitable for artificial intelligence servers, GPU Cluster, AI model training, AI model inference, enterprise AI application deployment, and computing power service centers.
If the investor has GPU resources, AI server resources, cloud customers, computing power customers, or a technical operations team in the future, this project can be further packaged as a Phnom Penh Techo International Airport AI Data Center infrastructure project in Cambodia.
Second. Enterprise Cloud Data Center
This is suitable for serving enterprise clients, fintech companies, e-commerce platforms, logistics companies, cross-border trading companies, legal technology platforms, software service companies, and large local enterprises.
As enterprise digitalization accelerates, more companies will need secure, stable, and compliant data storage, backup, and computing environments.
Third . Regional Disaster Recovery Center
This project can be planned as an ASEAN regional disaster recovery node, providing enterprises with data backup, off-site redundancy, system recovery, cloud disaster recovery, and cross-border business continuity services.
For finance, logistics, e-commerce, payment, supply chain, enterprise ERP systems, and government outsourcing service providers, disaster recovery capability will become increasingly important.
Forth . AI Infrastructure Park
If the investment scale is larger, this project can be further designed as a small-scale AI Infrastructure Park, including:
Data Center
Server rooms
Operations and maintenance offices
Equipment warehousing
Security monitoring center
Engineering maintenance center
Technical staff dormitory or office supporting facilities
Energy management system
Cooling system
Network access system
This planning model can increase the overall project valuation and is also beneficial for attracting industrial investors, funds, technology partners, or operators in the future.
Fifth . Data Center + Green Energy Support
One of the largest costs of a Data Center is electricity. Therefore, this project may explore the integration of solar energy, energy storage, energy-saving cooling, liquid cooling systems, green buildings, and ESG standards in the future.
If the project can integrate green energy or energy-saving design, it will become more attractive to international investors, institutional capital, cloud clients, and high-end enterprise customers.
5. Land and Legal Procedures Assisted by CACC
CACC can assist investors in conducting land and legal due diligence for this project, including:
Review of land ownership documents
Confirmation of land area
Review of cadastral information
Confirmation of land boundaries
Whether the land is subject to mortgage
Whether the land is subject to seizure
Whether the land is subject to disputes
Whether the land involves co-owners
Whether the land involves unregistered occupants
Whether the land involves villagers’ use or historical disputes
Whether the land is affected by road widening, government planning, or public construction
Whether the land is suitable for Data Center or related industrial projects
Whether the land is suitable for lawful ownership, long-term use, or transitional arrangements
For a Data Center project, land documents must be reviewed more strictly than for ordinary commercial investments. This is because the project involves heavy asset investment, long-term operation, equipment importation, government approvals, client contracts, and future financing. Once the land foundation is unstable, all subsequent investment will be affected.
CACC’s handling principles are:
Confirm rights before designing structure; confirm usage before advancing investment; control risks before starting construction.
No matter how high-tech the project is, the land documents still need to be reviewed honestly and carefully. AI can be trendy, but land title cannot be vague. This is not a place to joke around. One solid land title is more important than one hundred beautiful renderings.
6. CACC’s Assistance with Lawful Citizenship Application and Land Ownership Pathway
One important feature of this project is that CACC can assist qualified investors in assessing and applying for Cambodian citizenship-related procedures, so that after legally obtaining Cambodian citizenship, investors may lawfully own land in Cambodia as Cambodian nationals under Cambodian law.
According to Article 44 of the Constitution of Cambodia, only natural persons or legal entities of Khmer nationality have the right to own land. The Council for the Development of Cambodia’s explanations on land law also indicate that the 2001 Land Law confirms that only Cambodian natural persons or legal entities of Khmer nationality may own land and prohibits land acquisition through false identity.
Under the Cambodian Law on Nationality, foreigners may apply for Cambodian citizenship in accordance with law. However, naturalization is a status granted by the Cambodian state and is not an automatic right of the applicant. The competent authorities have lawful review and discretionary authority.
CACC can assist investors with the following matters:
Preliminary background review of the investor
Organization of the investor’s nationality and identity documents
Preparation of the investor’s criminal record clearance documents
Explanation of the investor’s source of funds
Organization of investment project materials
Explanation of investment amount and project contribution
Assessment of citizenship application pathway
Preparation of citizenship application documents
Communication and coordination with Cambodian competent authorities
Follow-up on the citizenship application procedure
Land ownership arrangements after lawful acquisition of Cambodian citizenship
Assistance with land registration and ownership documents
Connection between project company structure and personal ownership structure
Subsequent tax, inheritance, transfer, and operational arrangements
CACC’s approach in this project is to first confirm whether the investor meets the application conditions, and then confirm whether it is suitable to apply for Cambodian citizenship through investment, contribution, project implementation, or other lawful pathways.
Before the investor lawfully obtains Cambodian citizenship, CACC may also assist in designing transitional legal structures, such as project company arrangements, long-term use arrangements, lawful lease arrangements, cooperative development arrangements, or other legally feasible project advancement methods, in order to ensure that the project has legal protection during the citizenship application and land ownership transition period.
Important note:
CACC can assist investors in lawfully applying for Cambodian citizenship and planning land ownership pathways. However, whether citizenship is approved, the approval timeline, approval conditions, and final result shall all be subject to the final review by Cambodian competent authorities.
CACC does not assist with any false identity, fake marriage, forged documents, regulatory evasion, nominee arrangements, or land ownership methods that violate Cambodian law.
The correct path for this project is:
Lawful investment → lawful application → lawful acquisition of status → lawful land ownership → lawful construction → lawful operation.
This route may look slower, but it is the most stable route. Cross-border investment is not a sprint; it is a triathlon. When the documents are solid at the beginning, the project can run longer later.
7. CACC’s Assistance with Project Company Establishment
CACC can assist investors in establishing a Cambodian project company for this project, which will be used to undertake the investment project, government applications, equipment importation, contract signing, construction management, and subsequent operations.
CACC can assist with:
Company name application
Preparation of articles of association
Shareholder structure design
Directors and authorized representative arrangements
Company registration
Tax registration
Bank account opening assistance
Company seal
Registered address arrangement
Business license and related registration
Annual filing and corporate compliance management
Foreign investment documentation preparation
The project company structure must be designed correctly from the beginning. This is especially important because the project may later involve CDC / QIP applications, tax incentives, equipment importation, bank financing, equity cooperation, technology cooperation, and operational contracts.
If the company structure is disorganized from the beginning, the following problems may arise later:
Unable to clearly prove the investment entity
Unable to smoothly apply for investment incentives
Unable to handle import tax matters for equipment
Unable to explain source of funds to banks
Unable to sign long-term service contracts with customers
Unable to handle shareholder exit or new investor entry
Unable to complete project valuation and financing
Therefore, this project must use the project company as the core vehicle, and must be designed together with land structure, citizenship planning, investment structure, tax structure, and operational structure.
8. CACC’s Assistance with Government Procedures and Investment Incentive Applications
One key focus of this project is assisting investors in lawfully applying for Cambodian investment incentives and related tax exemption arrangements.
Depending on the nature of the project, investment amount, industry category, and requirements of the competent authorities, CACC can assist investors in assessing whether it is suitable to apply for:
CDC investment project registration
QIP qualified investment project status
Income tax incentives
Import equipment tax incentives
Customs duty incentives
Prepayment tax incentives
Minimum tax incentives
Other legally available investment incentives
CACC can assist in preparing and processing:
Investment application documents
Project company documents
Shareholder documents
Investment amount explanation
Source of funds explanation
Business plan
Data Center project proposal
Equipment import list
Construction planning documents
Land use or ownership documents
Financial forecast documents
Electricity demand explanation
Technical service explanation
Project phased implementation plan
Communication with competent authorities
Supplementary document preparation
Application process follow-up
Important note:
CACC can assist investors in lawfully applying for tax exemptions and investment incentives. However, whether approval is granted, the scope of approval, the incentive period, and applicable conditions shall still be subject to the review results of Cambodian competent authorities.
Professional investment promotion can clearly explain project value, but it cannot recklessly promise government results. A project that can truly go far must be legal, transparent, complete in documentation, and clear in structure.
9. CACC’s Assistance with Construction and Pre-Operation Procedures
A Data Center project involves architecture, mechanical and electrical engineering, electricity, fire safety, network, environmental protection, security, and operational management. It cannot be handled under the standards of an ordinary warehouse or regular office building.
CACC can assist investors in coordinating and processing:
Land use confirmation
Project planning application
Building permit
Construction permit
Fire safety requirements
Preliminary environmental review
Drainage and sewage treatment conditions
Electricity connection application
Substation or power supply solution coordination
Fiber network and telecommunications resource coordination
Engineering contract review
EPC contract review
Equipment procurement contract review
Engineering insurance arrangements
Construction responsibility allocation
Safety management system
Project acceptance process
Pre-operation compliance inspection
The nature of a Data Center is that it is a long-term operating asset. The real key is whether the project can continue to operate stably, provide services to customers, comply with government regulations, and properly handle tax, labor, equipment, fire safety, security, and data-related issues.
CACC can assist investors in considering subsequent operational conditions from the early construction stage, avoiding the risk that the building is completed but still cannot operate normally.
10. CACC’s Assistance with Equipment Importation and Tax Compliance
The high-value components of a Data Center project usually include servers, GPUs, cabinets, UPS, battery systems, transformers, generators, cooling systems, network switches, fiber optic equipment, security monitoring equipment, and operations and maintenance systems.
CACC can assist investors with:
Review of equipment procurement contracts
Supplier compliance review
Import entity arrangement
Design of equipment ownership attribution
Confirmation of import license requirements
Preparation of customs declaration documents
Organization of equipment lists
Equipment valuation and tax documents
Application for equipment import incentives under QIP
Equipment insurance arrangements
Equipment financing or leasing structure
Technical service contracts
Maintenance contracts
Cross-border payment compliance
Anti-money laundering and source of funds documents
Equipment entry and project company asset registration
If investors plan to introduce AI servers, GPU modules, liquid cooling systems, or high-end network equipment, special attention must be paid to equipment source, export restrictions, end-use statements, import declaration, contractual liability, and subsequent operation and maintenance arrangements.
A Data Center project cannot only focus on equipment price. Who buys, who imports, who owns, who uses, who maintains, who bears responsibility, and who enjoys the income must all be clearly stated in the legal documents and company structure.
11. Complete Implementation Solution: Land + Citizenship + Procedures + Normal Operation
This project is recommended to be advanced under a complete implementation logic. The core objective is to assist investors in completing:
Acquisition and confirmation of land resources
Citizenship pathway planning and application assistance
Land ownership arrangements after lawful acquisition of Cambodian citizenship
Project company establishment
Government procedures
CDC / QIP investment incentive application
Tax exemption and import tax incentive application
Construction permit coordination
Equipment import compliance
Establishment of operational systems
Entry of the project into normal operational status
The complete implementation pathway of this project can be divided into the following stages.
Stage 1: Preliminary Review of Land and Investor Qualifications
CACC assists in reviewing basic land documents, land location, land area, land ownership, investor background, investment source of funds, and whether the investor is suitable for citizenship pathway planning.
This stage focuses on confirming:
Whether the land has the basic foundation for the project
Whether the investor meets application qualifications
Whether the project is suitable for Data Center planning
Whether citizenship and land ownership pathways need to be arranged simultaneously
Whether there is a possibility of applying for investment incentives and tax exemptions
Stage 2: Citizenship and Land Ownership Pathway Planning
CACC assists the investor in assessing the Cambodian citizenship application pathway and preparing relevant documents based on the investor’s situation, including identity documents, criminal record clearance, source of funds proof, investment project materials, and other documents that may be required by the competent authorities.
If the investor legally obtains Cambodian citizenship, subsequent land ownership and registration arrangements may be made in accordance with law.
During the citizenship application process, CACC can assist in designing transitional project arrangements to ensure that the project will not be completely suspended simply because the identity or land ownership procedures have not yet been completed.
Stage 3: Project Company Establishment and Investment Structure
CACC assists in establishing the project company and using the project company as the main entity for government applications, tax registration, equipment importation, contract signing, construction management, and operational management.
The project company may be coordinated with the investor’s post-citizenship land ownership arrangement to form a complete structure involving personal land ownership, project company operation, equipment asset management, customer contract signing, and tax filing.
Stage 4: CDC / QIP and Tax Exemption Application
CACC assists investors in preparing the Data Center project business plan, investment application documents, equipment list, construction plan, financial documents, source of funds explanation, and government application materials, and lawfully applying for CDC / QIP investment incentives and tax exemption arrangements.
The focus of this stage is to maximize policy support for the project in terms of income tax, imported equipment, customs duties, prepayment tax, and other lawful incentives.
Stage 5: Construction Permits and Equipment Importation
CACC assists investors in coordinating with engineering, mechanical and electrical, electricity, fire safety, environmental protection, network, and customs-related parties to process the procedures required before construction, and assists with equipment importation, customs declaration, application of tax incentives, and asset registration.
Stage 6: Operational Compliance and Normal Business Operation
CACC assists in establishing customer contracts, operation contracts, labor contracts, equipment maintenance contracts, tax filing systems, fire safety systems, preliminary data security systems, and ongoing legal advisory service mechanisms, enabling the project to have the foundation for lawful external investment promotion, contract signing, and operation.
The final objective of this project is to assist investors in obtaining a Data Center project with land foundation, identity pathway, lawful ownership arrangement, government procedures, tax incentives, construction conditions, and normal operational capability.
12. CACC’s Assistance in Bringing the Project into Normal Operation

Yes, foreign investors can participate, but a lawful investment structure must be designed. If the investor wishes to ultimately lawfully own land in an individual name, CACC can assist in assessing and processing Cambodian citizenship application-related procedures.
Third. After obtaining Cambodian citizenship, can the investor legally own land?
After lawfully obtaining Cambodian citizenship, the investor may conduct land ownership and registration arrangements as a Cambodian national under Cambodian law. Specific implementation shall still be handled in accordance with land documents, competent authority requirements, registration procedures, and actual approval results.
Forth. Can tax exemption be applied for?
If the project meets Cambodian investment incentive policies and requirements of competent authorities, QIP and related tax incentives may be applied for in accordance with law. CACC can assist in preparing application materials and communicating with competent authorities, but the final result shall be subject to government approval.
Fifth. Can equipment import tax incentives be included?
If the project successfully obtains relevant investment incentive status, certain equipment imports may have the opportunity to apply for tax incentives in accordance with law. The specific scope of application must be confirmed based on the project approval documents, equipment list, and customs and tax requirements.
Sixth. Can the project operate normally after completion?
The planning objective of this project is to assist investors in establishing the legal, corporate, tax, construction, equipment, contractual, and compliance conditions required for normal operation. CACC can assist in establishing the operational foundation step by step, enabling the project to have the conditions for lawful external operation.
Seventh. Must the investor operate the project personally?
The investor may operate the project directly, or may introduce professional Data Center operators, cloud service providers, technical teams, mechanical and electrical maintenance teams, or computing power service platforms to participate jointly.
Eighth. Is this project suitable for one-time investment or phased implementation?
Phased implementation is recommended. The first stage should focus on land, legal, and citizenship pathway assessment; the second stage should complete the company and investment structure; the third stage should process government and tax incentive applications; the fourth stage should enter construction and equipment importation; and the fifth stage should enter operation and customer development.
15. CACC’s Value in This Project
