Institute of Technology of Cambodia

The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC), also known as Sala Techno, is a public higher education institution in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) was founded in 1964 as the Institut Technique Supérieur de l'Amitié Khméro–Soviétique (ITSAKS; The Superior Technical Institute of Khmer–Soviet Friendship). It was funded by the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1975 and from 1980 to 1991.

During the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979), ITSAKS was closed and many of its faculty and students were killed. After the fall of the Khmer Rouge, the institute was reopened in 1980, but it was not until 1993 that it began to recover from the devastation of the war.

In 1993, the Cambodian and French governments signed an agreement to renovate ITC. With the support of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French embassy, ITC was able to improve its infrastructure, curriculum, and faculty.

In 2004, ITC was officially recognized as a university by the Cambodian government. In 2017, ITC opened its second campus in Tboung Khmum Province.

Today, ITC is the leading university in Cambodia for STEM education and research. It offers undergraduate and graduate programs in a variety of engineering disciplines, as well as research programs in fields such as renewable energy, sustainable development, and disaster risk reduction.

ITC is a highly selective university with an acceptance rate of around 20%.
