TAICCA started the Immersive Content Grant in 2020. TAICCA supports the co-funding or co-production of future content projects-the immersive experiences in order to encourage the relevant stakeholders to discover the creativity and energy of technology innovation in Taiwan and explore new mediums and new forms of storytelling for immersive content. In the past few years, Taiwanese XR and immersive content have been delivering outstanding performances on the global stage, recognized by international juries and festivals.
TAICCA will continue to encourage multinational XR content development in Taiwan, and serve as a platform for international and cross-industry future content collaborations.
