Gooqx Speakerbox
No. 1 – Huy Dieu

Last Friday we launched a new platform called Gooqx Speakerbox. The idea of this monthly presentation by a team member is to enhance our knowledge in different fields, discuss recent happenings or get inspired by the speakers’ topics. The speakers are free to choose their topics themselves. Those don’t necessarily have to relate to the company but should benefit the whole team somehow.

As I, Huy Dieu, am initiating this project, I knew that I had to kick off the whole thing and choose a topic that is related to me, to the company and hopefully to Gooqx’ future: Vietnam!

I opened by addressing things people might associate with Vietnam like jungle, nature, tradition and the temples.

However, what I really wanted to show was the evolution, the economic rise and the possibilities Vietnam – in this case Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City – has to offer. Just to drop some facts about Saigon:

• Population 12 Mio → NYC 8,4 Mio
• Economic growth 6,8% → GER 0,1%
• Average age: 27 years
• 70% under 35 years
• Facebook average age: 23,7 years (lowest average age worldwide)

What does this mean for us?
It seems like one of the most emerging markets in Asia has opened a door for us. That’s why we will start working on several projects that focus on the young and eager target group of Vietnam.
Stay tuned for updates, we’ll keep you posted.
