vKirirom Nature City
z
“My dream is for Cambodians to speak of vKirirom with the same
pride as Angkor Wat – as one of the two national treasures of
Cambodia.”
-Takeshi Izuka, CEO and Founder
vKirirom Nature City is an integrated hilltop community where
education, entrepreneurialism, technology and eco-tourism meet
on a mountain with a pine forest 2.5 hours from Phnom
Penh. The weather and natural beauty of Kirirom create an
environment perfect for students, entrepreneurs and residents
seeking a living and work space for creativity, health and
innovation.
In the future, Kirirom Institute of Technology will have 30,000
students with faculties in IT, hospitality, architecture and
leadership training. The state-of-the-art university will be just one
of the many beautifully planned features that make up the hilltop
community.
The nature city is also planned to include commercial and
residential mixed-use developments blended with world class
resorts and attractions. The city will be integrated with bespoke IT
technologies created by the university – a major driver of the
innovation focused economy to be developed.
Urban services will be provided for and managed by using Smart
City technologies that reduce costs and minimize the impact on
the environment. The concepts of living, working, learning and
playing will come together in one incredible location surrounded
by nature and a healthy environment. vKirirom is committed to
implementing most of the UN's 17 global sustainable goals over
the next several decades and promises to be one of the world's
most innovative and exciting new city environments in the future.
