Asiahub New Media Summit
The annual grand gathering of Taiwan's content industry.
Taiwan occupies an essential position in Asia. In 2019, in response to the significant changes that new media technology brought to the content industry, NMEA aimed to unite the efforts of industry, government, and academia to explore Taiwan's advantages in the content industry. The primary goal is to promote Taiwan's unique cultural values and enhance connections with the international market. This led to the birth of the first "Asiahub New Media Summit."
Today, the Asiahub New Media Summit has become one of NMEA's annual flagship events. At the end of each year, NMEA gathers industry experts from both domestic and international sectors for a two-day summit. During this event, they discuss the latest trends and topics in the content industry, sparking innovative cross-sector collaborations. In addition to Taiwan's outstanding new media and audiovisual workers, leaders from major international enterprises such as Google, Netflix, and Discovery have been invited to share their insights at the summit. In recent years, the Asiahub New Media Summit has expanded to include workshops. Besides one-way knowledge sharing, these workshops provide practical opportunities to enrich the overall experience.
Over the years, the summit has been highly attended, with physical participation reaching thousands of individuals and tens of thousands of viewers joining through live streaming. It has become a knowledge hub for professionals to exchange ideas and one of the most influential flagship events in the content industry.

EMPOWERING
The fifth edition of the Asiahub New Media Summit, themed "Empowering," spotlighted six major directions: "Global Entertainment & Media Trends," "T-content Accelerator," "Taiwan & Hollywood," "Technology & Creativity," "Crossover & Breakout," and " Style Comes First." The forum covered fields spanning television, film, entertainment, technology, the internet, and data analytics. The event featured over 60 domestic and international content industry experts in 19 specialized talks and discussions. Additionally, workshops were expanded, with overseas experts and international media groups providing hands-on teaching to actualize the concept of "Empowering" from sharing ideas and concepts to enhancing practical skills.
RESET
The fourth summit focused on four main themes: Reshuffle, Research, Revenue, and Replay (4R), bringing together nearly 80 leaders from domestic and international government, industry, and academia for 22 keynote speeches and discussions. The summit delved into topics such as streaming media, IP incubation, Korean Wave analysis, content monetization, international expansion, and the revival of Taiwanese dramas, analyzing the future trends of the new media industry.
NEW ORDER
The third Asiahub New Media Summit, themed "New Order," explored various changes in the market during the pandemic through four core subtopics: New Trend, New Tech, New Biz, and New Player. During the two days of the forum, the summit featured 23 keynote speeches and discussions on topics such as the metaverse, VTubers, streaming media, reality shows, and live broadcasting. More than 60 influential industry leaders from domestic and international backgrounds shared their firsthand insights.
CHANGE THE WORLD
The theme of the 2020 Summit was "Change the World," where discussions revolved around how to enhance the competitiveness of the content industry through financial capital, digitalization, globalization, and localization. NMEA invited top industry leaders around the world to provide insights into the global new media industry trends for entertainment industry professionals in Taiwan.
BEYOND
The rapid global connectivity driven by new media technology has led traditional media to pursue digital transformation and new opportunities. Taiwan's strategic location in the heart of Asia, bridging Northern Asia and Southeast Asia, and connecting Eastern and Western resources, positions it amid intense global competition. To thrive in this landscape, it's essential to break down barriers and harness the collective power of industry, government, and academia to create and promote Taiwanese cultural values.
The theme of the inaugural Asiahub New Media Summit, "BEYOND," symbolizes the vision for the content industry. It focuses on three core aspects (streaming, cross-sector, monetization) and nine major sectors (OTT, film, television, music, gaming, esports, animation, IP, telecommunications) to highlight trends in Asian new media.
