Creative Expo Taiwan 2026 is organized by the Ministry of Culture with the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Center and TAICCA, and describes itself as Taiwan's leading platform for showcasing cultural and creative content, industry exchange, and market matchmaking. This year's theme is 「Bit Zero」, asking what counts as irreplaceable originality in an age when algorithms can replicate content without limit. The expo runs in two parts: the curated cultural exhibition at the C-LAB heritage building, and the brand trade show at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. This page covers the trade show: over 870 brands across more than 1,200 booths, split into IP Licensing, Cultural & Creative Brands, and Start-ups. The 2025 edition drew 650,000 visitors and more than 28,000 professional attendees. Booths in all three zones are paid rentals and the organizer screens for eligibility rather than curating; the one exception is the Start-ups zone, where all 100 booths are awarded by a jury scoring market strength, innovation, and design. Of the 123 directory brands exhibiting, 121 are in the two brand zones and only 2 are in IP Licensing.
