Coworking spaces are community centres, collaboration hubs, and social spaces. A coworking space is a setting created for workers from various businesses who come to work there.

WORQ is a large-scale coworking facility and productivity community with facilities that was established in Kuala Lumpur in 2017. WORQ creates an ecosystem that connects early-stage startups with established companies which are ready for investment as well as SMEs. The WORQ team seeks to establish a community where entrepreneurs may come together to navigate the difficult and isolating road.

We are here speaking to Stephanie Ping, the CEO and Co-Founder of WORQ to explore more about her story and the coworking space.
