28 May 2025
Shih-sze (Sue) Wang, the deputy minister of political affairs at Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, is replacing Homme Tsai at the head of the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA). The three-year appointment, announced by the Ministry of Culture, ends on 27 May 2028.
Wang’s role as chairman of TAICCA will run concurrently with her position at the Ministry, and indicates closer oversight of the six-year-old agency charged with boosting Taiwan’s content industry development.
The changing of the guard coincides with the second NT$ 10 billion/US$334.5 million TAICCA funding approved by the National Development Council.
Wang’s announcement comes days after Tsai’s farewell note, in which he called his two years, two months and 10 days at TAICCA an “extraordinary journey”.
Minister of Culture Li Yuan said in the announcement that Wang’s appointment aligned TAICCA with the Ministry of Culture's overall cultural policies, industry development and international cooperation.
Highlighting his hopes for “six years of achievement and a new era”, Li said the new leadership and fund would further improve “investment mechanisms, strategies and the mobilisation of private funds to truly meet industry needs”.
“It is hoped that the agency will be more closely aligned with the Ministry’s overall cultural policies, industrial development, and international cooperation, while also refining its investment mechanisms, strategies, and private capital mobilisation to better meet industry needs, maximize the effectiveness of national resources, and jointly build a healthy ecosystem for Taiwan's cultural and creative industries,” he said.
TAICCA, established in 2019, had already invested in more than 100 projects, he said.
Other industry members of TAICCA’s board for the next term include documentary maker Li Dao-ming and writer Ma Shih-fang.
