Wednesday, 25 August 2021 WELCOME to the ContentAsia Summit 2021!

This morning we set the scene for the next three days, opening with a spotlight on a Taiwanese agency that’s topping the charts in terms of effective industry support; a series of presentations and conversations about content investment, data and analytics and streaming updates; and conversations with local streaming leaders.

At lunchtime, we introduce the first of our ContentAsia Women’s LUNCH WITH… sessions. No-holds-barred conversations with producers, directors and filmmakers in Asia talking about inspiration, motivation and creative influences along with their latest work, triumphs and challenges, what they love, hate and would definitely (or never) do again.

The second part of Day One continues the conversation with Asia’s video change makers. We’re spending the afternoon talking about, among other things, Thai Drama and its chances of developing into a global phenomenon in the footsteps of Korea’s Hallyu; new streaming and free-TV hopes and wishes in Southeast Asia; a look at how distributors and rights holders are changing their game; and, only days away from the end of Fox Networks Group channels, we sit down with three of the players that have seen a gap and are going for it.

9:30 AM - 10 AM Time to kick things off! ContentAsia Summit virtual venue opens...

Explore the Expo Hall with WarnerMedia, chat with distributors of everything from comedy to current affairs, network in the Viu Lounge, discover amazing entertainment at the Dolby Experience Lounge, brush up on who’s who in Asia and get set for three full days of conference sessions.

10 AM - 10:25 AM Taiwan: Scaling up its story In the past year alone, Taiwan’s two-year-old government-backed agency Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) has, among many other initiatives, invested in local production house Screenworks Asia, which plans to produce 100 hours of premium content a year; supported a Creative Content Fest that, among other successes, put hundreds of thousands of dollars into LGBTQ+ original productions; built a full-scale medical film studio, complete with waiting rooms and cashiers counters, to fill gaps in the country’s locations; and stepped up to fund multiple incubation, development and grants designed to boost Taiwan’s film and television output. Set up in mid-2019, TAICCA had by end 2020 seen NT$328.75 million of private funding promoted through its Cultural Content Investment Project, including investment in ContentAsia Awards’ winner Studio76, and helped cultural content enterprises raise funding of NT$954.85 million. This has, the agency says, laid the foundation for a forward-looking, innovative and market-orientated ecosystem for Taiwan’s content industry. Why now and what’s the end game? TAICCA Vice President, Alice Chang, talks to ContentAsia about what the agency is hoping for and how it plans Alice Chang Vice President, Taiwan to get there.

10:25 AM - 10:50 AM APAC’s Global Opportunities: Which platforms offer the best path for Asia’s content & talent Asian content and talent has never been in such high demand around the world. Driven by audience fragmentation and platform consolidation, video entertainment leaders are fighting to stay ahead of shifting audiences’ preferences in order to survive the streaming wars, let alone win them, and an overall view of global opportunities is critical in making expensive high-stakes decisions. In this presentation, Steve Langdon, Regional Director for data science company Parrot Analytics, uses proprietary demand-driven data science and analytics to highlight the platforms and partners that represent the best opportunities for content creators and distributors to export Asian stories to the global stage.
