Taiwan’s creative industry is attracting significant investment. The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and its partners have committed NT$5.64 billion ($180 million) across 27 projects. Of that total, NT$740 million ($23.7 million) comes from TAICCA itself, while private capital accounts for NT$4.9 billion ($157 million). TAICCA chair Sue Wang announced the figures at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF).
Four Joint Ventures Drive the Investment Push
TAICCA operates through four joint ventures: Chunghwa Digital Cultural and Creative Fund, Enjoy Entertainment Limited Partnership, momomini Kids Content Fund, and Joint Journey Creative. Together, these partnerships span nine countries. Wang noted that the joint-venture model allows for more professional and precise investment assessments.

Enjoy Entertainment, a partnership between TAICCA and Taiwanese telecom Far EasTone, invested in 15 projects during its first 10 months. Eight projects fall under film and TV, while seven cover music and live events. Its highlights include horror film “The Rope Curse 4: Kuntilanak,” which earned NT$80 million ($2.6 million) at the Taiwanese box office — a franchise record. VMTheatre Company’s “Don’t Cry, Dancing Girls the Musical” also stands out as the first Taiwanese musical to reach Off-Broadway.
On the music side, Enjoy developed the ID. Music Festival with Spotify. The event brought 14 Taiwanese acts to two stages and marked Spotify’s first collaboration with a Taiwanese music event. Enjoy also backed indie band Shallow Levée’s “Speak in Silence” project, which pairs a 10th-anniversary album with collaborations with Japanese and Korean musicians and a planned tour of around 50 shows across Taiwan and eight other Asian countries. In addition, Enjoy is producing an immersive project marking 25 years of work by Taiwanese picture-book artist Jimmy Liao.
Gary Tsai, general manager of Enjoy Entertainment and COO of Far EasTone’s FET Entertainment Service, said the company aims to bring Taiwanese original content to international audiences. At the same time, it plans to adapt international IP for local viewers through Far EasTone’s streaming service friDay Video and cross-border partnerships. Enjoy’s slate also includes “Our Blues,” a Taiwanese remake of the 2022 Korean series, which launches globally on Netflix on December 3.
Children’s Content Gets Its Own Fund
Launched in December 2025, momomini Kids Content Fund has already made six investments across animation, live-action and drama. COO Phoebe Tsai said children’s content had not previously been treated as a distinct investment category in Taiwan. The fund evaluates each project on industry impact, talent development and commercial viability.
Its projects include “Who’s Our Sub Today?,” a comedy-adventure series for children ages 8 to 12, and “Mogu & Perol,” which pairs a French IP with Taiwanese talent. The 39-episode series features six or seven episodes highlighting Taiwan’s Hakka culture. The fund also backed “Hello, Mr. President!,” which received an Excellent Screenplay Award from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture.
Chunghwa Fund Backs Companies and Projects
The Chunghwa Digital Cultural and Creative Fund totals NT$1 billion ($32 million). Chunghwa Telecom holds 64%, TAICCA holds 30% through the National Development Fund, E.Sun Financial Holding holds 5%, and fund manager CDCC Capital holds 1%.
The fund supports film, TV and other content at the project level. It also takes equity stakes in companies focused on content production, international distribution and IP development across games, music and cultural technology. Its equity investments include DaMou Entertainment, the production company behind “The World Between Us.” Its project slate includes “Call of Lobster,” an action comedy set across Taiwan and South Korea that won the Chunghwa Telecom Award at TCCF’s 2024 pitching competition.
