The 2025 Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) got down to business with the unveiling of two global-facing investment vehicles — the Taiwan–Korea Entertainment and Cultural Content Fund and the Far Eastern Creative Entertainment Fund — aimed at accelerating international collaboration, co-production and IP development across the Asian content landscape. The Taiwan–Korea Entertainment and Cultural Content Fund is spearheaded by CJ ENM — Korea’s powerhouse entertainment conglomerate spanning TV, talent management, film and drama production, cinemas and concerts — in partnership with Taiwan’s Far EasTone Telecom and TVBS Group. The NT960 million ($31 million) initiative will drive investment in film, television, music, live entertainment, co-production, distribution and international marketing. Complementing the bilateral fund, the Far Eastern Creative Entertainment Fund — jointly founded by Fubon Cultural Creative, Far EasTone and the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) — focuses on elevating Taiwanese IP globally while introducing world-class works to local audiences. TAICCA chair Sue Wang emphasized that the two funds represent more than a capital infusion — they signal a more mature, globally connected ecosystem. “TCCF has become a key entry point for international companies seeking to collaborate with Taiwan,” she said. “The island is evolving from a creator’s hub into a center for investment and co-production.” Sean Cho, VP of international business at CJ ENM, highlighted the strategic potential of the Taiwan–Korea partnership: “By combining Korea’s production expertise with Taiwan’s creative strengths, we aim to develop more internationally impactful works.”
