How freelancing can power a nation’s economy? - CK Cheong, fastlance Vietnam | EP 352

05 Thg08, 25

Since 2023, interest in the keyword “freelancer” in Vietnam has remained consistently high, ranging from 60% to 100% on Google Trends — peaking shortly after the 2024 Lunar New Year (Tiền Phong, 2024). This signals a growing appetite for flexible, independent work. When properly supported, the freelance economy could be a powerful catalyst for sustainable growth in regional areas — helping provinces thrive rather than relying heavily on major urban hubs. It’s also a promising strategy to close the urban-rural divide and unlock the full potential of local talent.

In this episode of Vietnam Innovators, host Hao Tran speaks with CK Cheong, Founder & CEO of fastwork (fastlance Vietnam) — Thailand’s leading freelance services platform, trusted by over 300,000 freelancers and thousands of businesses. Originally from Thailand and educated in the U.S., CK is now spearheading Fastwork’s regional expansion with Vietnam as a key market. His mission? To create meaningful job opportunities for everyday workers and empower SMEs to become a new force for economic growth.If you're part of the freelance community — or simply curious about the future of work in Southeast Asia — don’t miss this episode.
