Taiwan’s government has suspended its Taiwan International Co-funding Program (TICP) in a move that appears to signal a change in direction towards more mainstream projects.

When contacted by Deadline, Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), which manages the fund, offered the following statement: “To enhance international joint funding and co-production opportunities and to meet the demands of international investments, TAICCA has undertaken discussions to revise and optimize the investment initiatives based on the experience of Taiwan’s International Co-funding Program (TICP).
This strategic move aims to attract a broader spectrum of large-scale investment projects, fostering more collaborations between Taiwan and the global community.” Launched in January 2021, TICP provides investment of up to $300,000 or 30% of a production’s budget, for co-production projects with Taiwanese elements in the production team and/or story.
