PETALING JAYA, 20 MAY 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Building on the strong response and commercial success of its inaugural edition in Malaysia last year, the expo continues its collaboration with the Malaysia Creative Intellectual Property Association (MYCIP) to further connect Taiwan and Malaysia\u2019s creative content industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s edition combines both retail showcase experiences and business matching opportunities<\/strong>, bringing together 12 Taiwanese original character IPs alongside 12 Taiwan\u2013Malaysia cross-border collaborations<\/strong> presented for the first time. Through Malaysia as a regional gateway, the expo aims to create broader opportunities for Taiwanese original IPs to expand into the Southeast Asian market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalaysia is not only an important market for Taiwanese original IPs entering Southeast Asia, but also a valuable partner in driving regional creative and cultural collaborations. Taiwan and Malaysia share many similarities in both cultural background and industry landscape, which gives us strong confidence in the future potential for IP licensing partnerships and industry exchange between both sides. This year, beyond bringing 12 Taiwanese original character IPs to Malaysia, we are also strengthening business matching, cross-border collaborations and retail partnerships. Through these efforts, we hope Taiwanese original IPs can not only gain greater visibility, but also successfully enter regional markets and create broader opportunities together with our Malaysian partners,\u201d said Yang Chung-Tian, TAICCA Deputy CEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
