Aviation
GE is the world’s leading producer of large and small engines for commercial, military, business and general aircraft, as well as avionics, electric power and mechanical systems.

  • GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), the commercial aircraft leasing and financing unit of GE signed a general cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU) in May 2015 with Cambodia's State Secretariat of Civil Aviation – an initial step to enable its AviaSolutions aviation consulting unit to negotiate a contract for a consulting project.
  • Following the MOU, AviaSolutions will propose advisory services to assist in the development of a long-term strategic aviation policy for Cambodia. The consulting and advisory services could include top-level strategic planning, traffic forecasting, recommendations for aviation regulatory policies and recommendations for developing employment in the aviation sector.

  • In April 2017, GE is commissioned to supply technologies and solutions including Boiler, Electrostatic Precipitator and Steam Turbine Generation systems for Cambodia Energy Limited’s new 135 MW Sihanoukville coal fired power plant. This deal is the first project for GE Power in Cambodia, and GE’s first partnership with TPSC. Expecting on time completion by Nov’19 and once completed, it is expected to provide electricity to thousands of households.
  • In April 2017, a Memorandum of Understanding was also signed between GE and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) to install a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) to track and analyze the emission levels of power plants nationwide. This project is in the final preparation phase. The team is working to finalize the digital solution and expect to deploy towards the end of the year.

We value partnerships
Partner for Innovation

  • The GE Foundation, the philanthropic organization of GE, is partnering with the Ministry of Health in Cambodia to implement programs that help improve access to healthcare. The projects, defined through collaboration with Ministry of Health based on pressing needs include improving infrastructure with technology and training (i.e. Biomedical Engineering Training (BMET) training program) at public hospitals and clinics, increasing the pipeline of primary care physicians in the public sector, and improving maternal and newborn care to reduce infection and mortality rates.
  • On March 21, 2017, GE ASEAN & ANZ CEO Wouter kicked start the inauguration of new water purification system installed at Bun Rany Hun Sen Rokarkong Referral Hospital – the 10th provincial hospital to benefit from Safe Water in Health Facilities program. The new water system would critically enhance the quality of treatments as well as bringing more practical values for thousands of patients across the whole country.
  • Through partnering with local and international partners such as Engineering World Health, Duke University, Calmette Hospital, and the University of Puthisastra, Phnom Penh the GE foundation is tackling an important gap in Cambodia's public health system. A gap that is symptomatic of healthcare deficiencies in the developing world, where an estimated 40% of medical equipment is out of service. The mobilization of capital, knowledge, and locally-sourced parts can quickly put two-thirds of these tools back into use, which will be achieved through these partnerships.
  • Underpinning all healthcare activities is the need for safe and potable water. In September 2014, GE Foundation contributed $3.1 million towards a Safe Water Project to install water filtration systems in 10 Cambodia provincial hospitals.
  • In May 2017, the World Economic Forum was hosted in Phnom Penh Cambodia. John Rice – GE VP has joined the panel discussion on Youth, Digital and Infrastructure development and affirmed GE’s strong commitment to support Cambodia’s growth.
