TAICCA eyes even bigger 2025 following record TCCF 2024
26 November 2024
Taiwan’s Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) heads into the final weeks of 2024 riding high on its biggest-ever creative festival – the four-day Taiwan creative Content Fest (TCCF) – which took place in Taiwan early in November. Now the agency is preparing to host a major Taiwanese creative delegation in Singapore for the annual ATF market in the first week of December. With a little more than five weeks to go until 2025, the messaging is clear: Taiwan is committed to supporting its domestic creative ecosystem, to regional outreach and to international engagement.
This year’s TCCF attracted record participation, with 600 project proposals from 50 countries submitted for the TCCF pitch, 101 exhibition booths, and over 300 international professionals, media, and buyers from 30 countries gathering at the new venue, the Nangang Exhibition Center.
The choice to relocate to Nangang was deliberate and carefully considered, says TAICCA chairperson Homme Tsai, who said the venue marked a new chapter in TCCF history.
Tsai said the Nangang Exhibition Center indicated a shift to industry focused and commercial viability, as opposed to previous years which were held at Songshan Creative and Cultural Park. “We hope that the investments of TAICCA, informed by the private sector and industry participation, will be more impactful to meet the needs of Taiwanese creative content,” he said.
Deputy Minister Sue Wang said during the opening ceremony that “Taiwan needs more commercially viable content that attracts international audiences, we need talented storytellers to create these stories to build our international recognition.”
A key pillar of this year’s even was the PITCHING competition, which awarded prizes of a record NT$7.95 million/US$250,000. 62 proposals from 21 countries were chosen for the final pitches. The Grand prize winner was animated adventure fantasy, Clouded Leopard, which took home the US$30,000 TAICCA X CNC AWARD.
The FORUM centered on the theme “Together for Impact,” with 15 panels and keynotes led by over 30 industry experts from 13 countries.

TAICCA’s Tsai has even bigger ambitions for 2025, including more international platforms and production companies. The aim, he says, is even deeper negotiations and more meaningful exchanges.
