Taiwan creative content agency

What Taiwan creative content agency does

Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) is a non-profit government agency established in 2019 by Taiwan's Ministry of Culture, headquartered in Taipei City. Its mandate is to promote the development and international expansion of Taiwan's cultural and creative industries — spanning audiovisual content, digital content, music, comics, performing arts, publishing, gaming, and immersive media (VR/AR/XR) — by operating as a bridge between local talent and global market opportunities. Leadership comprises a Chairperson (Sue Wang), CEO (Erica Wang), Deputy CEO/Vice President (Alice Chang), and a further CEO figure (Jiun-Wei Lu).

TAICCA delivers its mission through three interconnected program areas: (1) Grants & Investment, including the Taiwan International Co-funding Program 2.0 (TICP2.0) with up to 49% investment ratio and no ceiling, the Creative Content Development Program (CCDP) with up to NT$3M per project, and targeted immersive-content grants (VR Game Early Access at NT$1.2M, 360 Immersive at NT$3–6M, Dome Projection at NT$1.76–1.8M); (2) Fairs & Events, anchored by the flagship annual Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) and Taiwan Pavilion presence at major global content markets (ATF Singapore, MIPCOM Cannes, Annecy Mifa, TIFF Toronto, Cannes); and (3) Business Matching, a suite of branded platforms including Taiwan Comic City, Book to Screen, Taiwan Content Island, Taiwan Beats, IP Meetup, Culture x Tech Database, Taiwan Digital Asset Library, and Fellowship programs. TAICCA does not develop proprietary technology products and does not generate commercial revenue; its services are government-funded and provided free to eligible creators and international partners.

Commercially, TAICCA operates as a state intermediary rather than a market-revenue business. Its go-to-market is event-driven and channel-partner driven: it recruits international creators and partners through global industry events, pavilion aggregation, and fellowship programs, and matches them with Taiwanese IP, creators, and producers via curated one-on-one matchmaking. Recent strategic moves include a three-year partnership with the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) for North American immersive content institutionalization, a strategic partnership with GOBELINS Paris for animation talent development, distribution alliances with Unframed Collection (VR) and Astrea/Meta (VR games), and the launch of the TCCF Prize at Mifa Pitches — collectively repositioning Taiwan as a co-production and immersive-content hub in Asia.
