AI Japan International Film Festival (AIFJ) will join StartSphere Taipei 2026, an entertainment tech event held September 3-4 in Taipei. The festival will hold a 90-minute session on September 4 presenting a vision for IP co-development, licensing, and international expansion through generative AI and Japan-Taiwan partnerships, aiming to launch one concrete joint content project within 12 months.
AIFJ's presence in Taipei is framed as structural, not ceremonial. The session runs 90 minutes in a trilingual format, Japanese, English, and Chinese, with AIFJ executive committee members joined by Taiwanese production studios such as GrX Studio, ecosystem support organizations, and technology platforms.
The stated ambition is a working pipeline: original IP co-development using AI for concept work and world-building, then commercialization and licensing toward global distribution, theatrical release, and interactive media, then joint investment between Japanese and Taiwanese investors, platforms, and creators. The festival says it will pursue direct partnerships with TAICCA and the Taipei Film Commission, plus local production and distribution companies.
AIFJ CSO Takanori Matsui said AI is transforming how original IP is developed, funded, and expanded globally, and called Taipei a hub where technology, creative talent, and capital meet. The event is invited by the Taipei City Government Department of Economic Development.
