Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) strengthened its international animation strategy at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival and Mifa with the launch of the TCCF Prize and a series of industry events aimed at expanding co-production opportunities for Taiwanese creators.
The inaugural TCCF Prize, introduced in partnership with Mifa Pitches, was awarded to Achugogo: Tale of the Spring Chaser, a French-South African-American co-production recognized for its cross-platform IP strategy spanning both feature film and series formats. As part of the award, the creative team will travel to Taiwan to participate in the 2026 TCCF Pitching event, where the project will be eligible for TAICCA's investment and co-production support.

TAICCA also showcased Taiwan's animation industry through its pavilion at Mifa, representing 41 companies and 61 projects, while hosting the "Toon Up Taiwan!" pitching event and the first "Taiwan Spotlight Showcase."
According to TAICCA Chairperson Wang Shih-szu, international buyers are increasingly viewing Taiwan as a mature production ecosystem rather than simply a source of individual projects. The agency's goal is to convert that recognition into long-term co-production partnerships and international investment.

Among the projects presented at "Toon Up Taiwan!", director Pin Yu Chang's stop-motion project Hwa's Going On received top honors, making it eligible for up to NT$3 million through TAICCA's Creative Content Development Program (CCDP). "It feels like the project truly has a life of its own," she shared. "Thank you to Hwa and the ducks for taking me this far."

The "Taiwan Spotlight Showcase" presented five market-ready titles to international buyers, including HI KIDS! SING AND DANCE WITH LUSASA FAMILY, BEELU'S YUM YUM TIME Season 3, Annecy selection YAYA'S BAND, FLAMIE RANGERS and PURINGAU, generating licensing and co-production interest through trailer presentations and creator Q&A sessions.
