Social Innovation

Where It Started

In 2013, Jeff Laflamme started AngkorHUB in Siem Reap, Cambodia. What began as a coworking project opened its doors to the public in 2014 and grew into something larger: a coworking and coliving space combined with a social innovation center.

At AngkorHUB, there were two passions: being productive and being positive. The space brought together freelancers, location-independent workers, and entrepreneurs from around the world. A place to get advice, network, and widen opportunities.

But beyond productivity, AngkorHUB housed a social innovation center dedicated to the sustainable growth and development of Cambodia. By bringing together mentors from both the local area and an extended network of supporters, it empowered local people to challenge and overturn the status quo.

Recognition

AngkorHUB was featured on e27 and listed among Asia's pioneer coliving spaces. Located in world-famous Siem Reap, minutes from downtown and a bicycle ride away from Angkor Wat, the space held weekly community events, educational lectures, and vocational tutorials.

The community that formed around AngkorHUB was not bound to a building. When COVID closed the physical space in March 2020, the relationships and mission persisted.

From AngkorHUB to InnoLabs

AngkorHUB was the foundation that created InnoLabs — the technology company that carries the mission forward.

Where AngkorHUB empowered people through physical space and mentorship, InnoLabs empowers businesses through software, systems integration, and digital infrastructure. The same commitment to Cambodia's growth, expressed through a different medium.

Jeff Laflamme's 20+ years of experience in Linux systems engineering and high-availability infrastructure — spanning banking, telecommunications, and multiple startups — now drives InnoLabs' work across Cambodia and the region.
