CTBC Venture Capital (CTBC Capital) was founded in March 2003 and marked our first foray into the venture capital market. Its main business is investing in companies that demonstrate high growth potential and that are not listed on the centralized or OTC markets.CTBC Capital has been helping foster the development of Taiwan’s creative fields for a nearly decade now, with investments spanning film, television, music, stage, e-books, e-commerce, and sports and leisure.

Its investments in film have borne particularly notable fruit at home. These include the theater that – as the only cinema in Taiwan with the 3D technology to play the movie in its original form – hosted the world premiere of director Ange Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. In addition, investee Mandarin Vision has itself seen great critical success, in 2017 taking the most honors at the Golden Horse Awards (dubbed the Chinese-language Oscars) for The Great Buddha+, which was also selected as the Taiwanese entry for the Best International Feature Film at that year’s Academy Awards. Then, in 2019, it won six Golden Horse Awards, including Best Director and Best Feature Film, for A Sun.

By leveraging our group’s vast pool of resources to provide its invested companies with more value-added services, CTBC Capital is expanding its markets beyond Taiwan, into Greater China and Southeast Asia.
