Taiwan's Content Agency Backs 27 Projects With US$180 Million
Taiwan's content agency, TAICCA, and its partners have invested in 27 projects backed by NT$5.64 billion (US$180 million) in total, according to Variety. Of that sum, NT$740 million (US$23.7 million) came from TAICCA. The rest, NT$4.9 billion (US$157 million), was private money. TAICCA chair Sue Wang gave the split at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF), the event the agency organises.
TAICCA, short for Taiwan Creative Content Agency, is a government body that helps fund film, television, music and publishing. Much of its money now goes through joint ventures. These are funds where the agency and a private company put in cash together, so each side shares the risk and the reward. Four of them were presented at TCCF: the Chunghwa Digital Cultural and Creative Fund, Enjoy Entertainment, the momomini Kids Content Fund and Joint Journey Creative.
The Chunghwa fund totals NT$1 billion (US$32 million). Chunghwa Telecom holds 64% and TAICCA holds 30%, through the National Development Fund. Enjoy Entertainment is a partnership between TAICCA and the Taiwanese telecom Far EasTone. In its first 10 months it invested in 15 projects, eight in film and television and seven in music and live events.
Joint Journey Creative's slate includes three Taiwanese films, The Damp, All Money Back My Home and Suffocation. It also includes Season 6 of the Japanese series Midnight Diner. The momomini fund, which launched in December 2025, has made six investments. Three are in animation, two in live action and one in drama. Its first project to reach a launch date is Mountain Adventure Squad 2, a children's outdoor reality show, slated for the first quarter of 2027.
Music and theatre were part of the mix too. The ID. Music Festival, developed with Spotify, brought 14 Taiwanese acts to two stages. It was Spotify's first collaboration with a Taiwanese music event. VMTheatre Company's Don't Cry, Dancing Girls the Musical has been billed as the first Taiwanese musical to reach Off-Broadway, the New York theatre scene outside the big Broadway houses.
Taiwan's box office also produced a record. The horror film The Rope Curse 4: Kuntilanak earned NT$80 million (US$2.6 million) in Taiwanese cinemas, the biggest take for that franchise, Variety reported.
The pitching section at TCCF will host 70 projects across film, television and publishing, according to Screen Daily. The agency's joint-venture partnerships span nine countries.
Wang's message to the industry was about priorities. Speaking to Variety on 6 November 2026, she said that turning existing intellectual property, such as stories and characters, into commercial returns should come before more funding is handed out. That puts the focus on what the projects earn once they exist, rather than on how many get made.
