Content and IP co-development
Best for film, series, animation, publishing, XR, and culture-tech teams that need a Taiwan-side creative or financing structure early in development.
Taiwan Co-Production Guide for International Teams
This page is for teams that already think the project may need a Taiwan co-production partner, not just a vendor or a broad market-entry conversation.
Use this when
The project needs Taiwan inside the structure, not only after the brief is finished
A co-production question is different from a normal partner search. You are usually deciding how Taiwan fits into rights, financing, development, production, market exposure, or delivery responsibility — not just who can make one piece of the work.
That is why a co-production route often overlaps with grants, TCCF, public programs, or market platforms. If those routes matter, build them into the conversation early instead of treating them as an afterthought.
Fast rule
If your main question is “who can execute in Taiwan?”, use the production-partner guide. If your main question is “how should Taiwan sit inside the project structure?”, this page is the better starting point.
Co-production types
Which kind of Taiwan co-production question are you actually asking?
Production-plus-market route
Best when the project also needs a Taiwan market platform such as TCCF, TAICCA, or another route where partner search and program logic happen together.
Execution-heavy co-production
Best when the project is already moving and Taiwan needs to contribute production, post, immersive build, event execution, or local stakeholder coordination.
Before outreach
Five things that should exist before you ask for a Taiwan co-production conversation
A project summary clear enough for another producer or funder to assess quickly.
A draft rights, financing, or partner-role logic that explains why Taiwan is part of the structure.
A realistic timeline for development, production, market exposure, or delivery.
A budget range and at least a draft split between your side and the Taiwan side.
A reason this should be a co-production rather than a generic outsourcing or vendor search request.

What usually goes wrong
Teams often say “co-production” when they mean three different things
Sometimes they mean co-financing. Sometimes they mean partner search. Sometimes they mean local execution plus one official program. If you bundle all three together, the Taiwan side cannot tell who should join first or what kind of commitment is being requested.
Separate structure, funding, and execution early. That makes it easier to know whether the next move is TCCF, TAICCA, another public route, a Taiwan-side producer, or a cleaner project brief.
What good looks like
A good co-production conversation explains why Taiwan is strategically part of the project, what role the Taiwan side may play, and which route should be tested first.

Use the grants page or the trade-show page if the project still needs a public-resource or market-platform route. Use the brief checklist if the summary is still too weak for a partner conversation.
