Taipei Cultural and Creative Industry Support Plan

The Taipei Cultural and Creative Industry Support Plan, guided by the Taipei City Government’s Department of Cultural Affairs, is dedicated to building a platform that integrates talent development, industry support, and cross-sector exchange. By consolidating consulting services, training programs, marketing support, and international matchmaking resources, the program helps cultural and creative businesses advance from brand building to market expansion, strengthening both the competitiveness and global visibility of Taipei’s creative industries. Centered at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park as its development base, the program brings together creative talent, design brands, entrepreneurial teams, and curatorial resources. It aims to cultivate a multifaceted platform for exchange, experimentation, exhibitions, sales, and business development. Through curatorial integration, industry linkage, and public-private collaboration, the program enhances the practical effectiveness of its support mechanisms.
 

Industry Support and Talent Development

Enhancing Information Flow

We develop an information database and virtual platform for the cultural and creative sector, and organize policy and resource briefings to help businesses stay updated on government subsidies and partnership opportunities—strengthening knowledge exchange across the industry.

Providing Consulting and Mentorship

We establish a consulting framework offering preliminary referrals and advanced diagnostic support tailored to real-world business challenges. This helps enterprises access essential resources and overcome operational bottlenecks effectively.

Delivering Diverse Training Programs

We design lectures, forums, and workshops aligned with market trends and industry needs, enhancing brand-building, creative, and managerial capabilities while fostering interdisciplinary exchange.

Facilitating Industry Networking and Matchmaking

Through site visits, matchmaking events, and related activities, we assist businesses in connecting with upstream and downstream partners, encouraging cross-sector collaboration and the development of a more integrated and resilient industry ecosystem.

International Market Expansion and Global Engagement

As one of the earliest local governments in Taiwan to advance cultural and creative industry policies, the Taipei City Government has taken culture as its core and integrated diverse fields—including design, performing arts, publishing, and digital content. Through the “TAIPEI corners” initiative, Taipei actively supports Taiwanese brands in participating in international exhibitions, showcasing the city’s creative strength on the global stage.

This project has long been committed to establishing a dual-track mechanism of “local capacity-building × international market expansion.” The approach not only reinforces Taipei’s role as a creative hub in Asia, but also contributes to the gradual formation of a distinctive cultural entrepreneurship ecosystem unique to Taipei.

Key Areas of Implementation
1. Participation in International Exhibitions
Engaging directly with global buyers and distributors to build substantial and sustainable commercial connections.
2. Diversified Sales Channels
Leveraging local distribution networks and cultural contexts to create short-term, high-visibility pop-up retail opportunities that attract market attention.
3. Exchange and Matchmaking
Enhancing international exchange capacity to facilitate collaboration between Taiwanese brands and overseas curators, distributors, and creators.
Through these strategies, the project aims to support cultural and creative brands in advancing from local foundations to the global market, while steadily increasing their visibility and influence on the international stage.
