Taiwan content agency chief prioritises intellectual property commercialisation over direct funding

Sue Wang, the chair of the Taiwan Creative Content Agency, stated that Taiwan’s content industry must make the development and commercialisation of intellectual property its top priority. Variety reported that Wang made the statements as the agency expands international co-productions and maintains a cautious approach toward artificial intelligence. [1]

Wang emphasized that creating high quality content is not the sole challenge facing the sector. According to Variety, Wang stated that local companies must build business models capable of turning creative ideas into sustainable revenue and reaching international audiences across diverse markets.

The focus on intellectual property commercialisation coincides with active project development in the region. Variety TV reported that production company Studio76 presented its crime thriller series Hannibal Inside at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei. The series follows an amnesiac sashimi chef who discovers he was previously a star surgeon for an organ trafficking syndicate. [2]

As FTMQ Entertainment reported earlier, Studio76 adapted the series from the novel The Monster Community, which Variety TV noted was acquired from publisher Kadokawa Taiwan. Screen Daily reported that the Taiwan Creative Content Fest serves as a primary platform for showcasing local Taiwanese creative talent. [2][4][7]
