Taiwan’s creative-content investment push is backing 27 projects with a combined NT$5.64 billion ($180 million), spanning film, television, music, live entertainment, children’s programming and international productions.

Taiwan Creative Content Agency chair Sue Wang unveiled the figures at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest, saying TAICCA contributed NT$740 million ($23.7 million), alongside NT$4.9 billion ($157 million) in private capital.

The agency presented work from four joint ventures: Chunghwa Digital Cultural and Creative Fund, Enjoy Entertainment Limited Partnership, momomini Kids Content Fund and Joint Journey Creative. Together, the partnerships extend across nine countries. Wang said the joint-venture structure supports more professional and precise investment assessments.

Among the most internationally visible titles is a Taiwanese remake of the 2022 Korean series “Our Blues.” Part of Enjoy Entertainment’s slate, the drama is scheduled to launch globally on Netflix on Dec. 3.

Enjoy Entertainment Builds Across Screens, Stages and Music

Enjoy Entertainment, formed as a partnership between TAICCA and Taiwanese telecom company Far EasTone, invested in 15 projects during its first 10 months. That portfolio comprises eight film and television projects and seven music and live-event ventures.

Its screen investments include “The Rope Curse 4: Kuntilanak,” which earned NT$80 million ($2.6 million) at the Taiwanese box office, setting a record for the franchise.

The partnership also backed VMTheatre Company’s “Don’t Cry, Dancing Girls the Musical,” described at TCCF as the first Taiwanese musical to reach Off-Broadway. Another project marks 25 years of work by Taiwanese picture-book artist Jimmy Liao through an immersive experience.

Enjoy’s music activity includes the ID. Music Festival, developed with Spotify. The event placed 14 Taiwanese acts across two stages and represented the streaming service’s first collaboration with a Taiwanese music event.

Other projects include “Her Voice,” a concert bringing together five female performers from Taiwan and South Korea, and Shallow Levée’s “Speak in Silence.” That initiative connects the indie band’s 10th-anniversary album with Japanese and Korean musician collaborations, plus a planned tour of approximately 50 shows across Taiwan and eight other Asian countries.

Gary Tsai, Enjoy Entertainment’s general manager and COO of Far EasTone’s FET Entertainment Service, said the company’s strategy is twofold: introducing Taiwanese original content to international audiences and adapting overseas intellectual property for local viewers. Through investment, cross-border partnerships and Far EasTone’s friDay Video streaming service, it aims to expand the reach of Taiwanese productions and generate opportunities for local talent.

Children’s Content Gets a Dedicated Fund

Launched in December 2025, momomini Kids Content Fund has made six investments across three animated projects, two live-action titles and one drama.

COO Phoebe Tsai said the fund evaluates projects not only on production, talent development and commercial viability, but also on their potential effect on the wider industry. Its concentration on children’s programming addresses an area that, according to Tsai, had not previously been treated as a separate investment category in Taiwan.

The slate includes “Who’s Our Sub Today?,” a comedy-adventure for children ages 8 to 12, and “Feifei,” a picture book being developed as an animated children’s sitcom. “Mogu & Perol” combines French IP with Taiwanese talent; six or seven installments of the 39-episode series will feature the culture of Taiwan’s Hakka people, one of the island’s main ethnic groups.

The fund also invested in “Mountain Adventure Squad 2,” a children’s outdoor reality program planned for release in the first quarter of 2027, and “Hello, Mr. President!,” a recipient of an Excellent Screenplay Award from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture.

Film, Drama and International Partnerships

Joint Journey Creative presented a lineup featuring the Taiwanese films “The Damp,” “All Money Back My Home” and “Suffocation.” It is also participating in the international production of Season 6 of the Japanese series “Midnight Diner.”

The Chunghwa Digital Cultural and Creative Fund, meanwhile, totals NT$1 billion ($32 million). Chunghwa Telecom owns 64%, while TAICCA holds 30% through the National Development Fund. E.Sun Financial Holding controls 5%, and fund manager CDCC Capital holds the remaining 1%.

Its strategy combines project-level financing for film, television and other programming with equity investments in companies involved in content development, production, global distribution and business integration. The fund also targets new applications for IP involving cultural technology, games and music.

Equity investments include DaMou Entertainment, the production company behind “The World Between Us,” and Horiza Creations, which works in international IP operations, data-led business models and crowdfunding.

Projects include “Call of Lobster,” an action comedy set across Taiwan and South Korea that received the Chunghwa Telecom Award at TCCF’s 2024 pitching competition. The fund also backs “C’est la Vie,” an eight-episode drama executive produced by and starring Esther Liu, with Tu Cheng-che serving as screenwriter and director. It is additionally an investor in Shallow Levée’s “Speak in Silence.”

ShowBiz Take

The scale of the NT$5.64 billion initiative matters because its 27-project portfolio is not confined to one medium or one route to audiences. The four investment vehicles cover theatrical releases, streaming, music, live performance, children’s programming, company equity and cross-border production.

The upcoming global Netflix launch of “Our Blues” provides a clear international outlet, while projects involving South Korea, Japan, France and other Asian markets show how the partnerships are pairing Taiwanese talent and content with overseas IP, collaborators and distribution opportunities.

What Happens Next?

“Our Blues” is set to arrive worldwide on Netflix on Dec. 3. Beyond that release, Shallow Levée’s planned multi-country tour and the first-quarter 2027 launch target for “Mountain Adventure Squad 2” are among the next confirmed steps emerging from the four funds’ expanding slates.
