Insights
EPWK's international expansion creates significant growth potential by connecting global creative talent with businesses through AI-powered infrastructure.
EPWK's launch of its international platform represents a strategic transformation from a Chinese marketplace to a global creative services infrastructure company. With 8.7 million buyers and 16.9 million sellers already on the platform, and a completed GMV of $1.67 billion, EPWK has demonstrated product-market fit in China and is now leveraging this foundation for global expansion.
The company's integration of DeepSeek's large language model provides a technological moat that differentiates it from traditional freelance platforms. Their AI assistant addresses critical friction points in the creative services marketplace: project specification clarity, talent matching, pricing optimization, and trust establishment. These AI capabilities could significantly increase transaction velocity and platform liquidity.
EPWK's two-sided marketplace strategy is particularly shrewd - simultaneously enabling Chinese creative talent to access global markets while giving international businesses access to specialized skills for localization as Chinese brands expand globally. This positions EPWK as an infrastructure layer for cross-border creative collaboration at a time when remote creative work is becoming normalized.
However, EPWK faces substantial challenges in global expansion, including established competitors like Fiverr and Upwork, cross-cultural operational complexity, and varying regulatory environments. Their success will depend on whether their AI-powered matching and transaction systems can deliver superior outcomes compared to incumbents, particularly in building trust across cultural and linguistic barriers.

AI-Powered Infrastructure at the Core
EPWK's global strategy is anchored in technology. In March 2025, the company integrated DeepSeek's large language model to launch its AI-powered assistant, designed to help employers clarify project briefs, generate templates, and automatically match tasks with suitable providers.
Other intelligent features include a personalised task recommendation engine, a smart pricing assistant, and backend protections like escrow, trust scoring, and copyright safeguards. These innovations aim to increase transaction efficiency while reducing friction in the hiring process.
Going Global: Strategy and Vision
EPWK's international site is initially focused on
- For Chinese freelancers and studios, EPWK offers a digital gateway to global clients.
- For international businesses, it provides access to vetted creative talent, particularly useful for localisation, design, and marketing support as more Chinese brands expand overseas.
"The creative economy is going global—and remote. We want to be the infrastructure layer enabling that shift," Huang said.
He also acknowledges the challenges ahead: cross-cultural operations, timezone differences, regulatory complexity, and strong international competition. But Huang views these as barriers worth solving—ones that, once overcome, could position EPWK as a category leader.
Looking Ahead
EPWK's long-term vision is to become a globally recognised internet platform company with a market cap exceeding
The company continues to invest in AI, data infrastructure, and cross-border services, while also working to standardise creative work delivery globally. Notably, EPWK led the drafting of
In Huang's words: "IPO was just the beginning. The real story is how we scale talent, creativity, and trust across borders."
