The Dr Darrin M. Disley OBE Enterprise Centre

The Dr Darrin M. Disley OBE Enterprise Centre opened on the 9^th November 2018. Located above Footprint’s first café in Siem Reap, the Enterprise Centre is named in honour of Footprint’s founding financial backer, scientific innovator and serial entrepreneur. The centre reflects Dr Disley’s values as a space focused on supporting young Cambodian start-ups and entrepreneurial talent. 

50% of our space is available for walk-in co-working. The revenues this generate feeds directly into Footprint’s triple bottom line mission of ‘People, Planet, Profit’. All profits are donated back to the local community as grants for educational or social entrepreneurial projects.

The other 50% of the centre is free or heavily discounted for projects, start-ups or scaling ventures. The free space is available to Cambodian or Cambodian international collaborations with priority given to those that have a social entrepreneurial element to their business model.

Past and present users of centre include: SHE investment, Sonas World, Cambodia Reading Club and  A Place To Be Youself.
