Publishing action today

Draft a one-page internal note mapping the three proposed CDC/EuroCham reforms (digital documents, standardised photos, unified business codes) onto the existing DPI stack (CamDigiKey, CamDX, CamInvoice) and circulate to the consulting team ahead of the 26 October digital-invoice go-live. Before sharing, check this wording, which the source does not support: LinkedIn draft says "live"; infographic says "approved".

Earned-media opportunity

Pitch the CDC–EuroCham digital-documents/unified-business-codes reform story as a FinTech-lens explainer to Cambodia Investment Review (which already covered it) — angle it around how CamDigiKey, CamDX and CamInvoice layers could unlock faster corporate onboarding and SME credit.
