Following the tremendous success of its debut, IP-STAR Pop Park returns to Creative Expo Taiwan 2026 with Fantasy Star Theater—an immersive showcase where original character IPs, animation, interactive entertainment, and licensing come together on one spectacular stage.
Inspired by the concept of a circular theater, the pavilion invites visitors and international buyers to experience the creativity, commercial potential, and limitless imagination of Taiwan's original IP universe.
This year's IP-STAR Fantasy Star Theater brings together 21 original character IPs from the second IP-STAR Program, 11 outstanding brands from the inaugural edition, two IP-STAR animated anthology projects, and two free-roaming multi-user VR experiences, featuring more than 36 exhibition booths.
The pavilion is organized into five themed IP zones—Universe, Imagination, Gourmet, Entertainment, and Cultural Journey—alongside the Star Screening Theater, Star Immersive Theater, and the IP-STAR Store.
Together, they showcase Taiwan's creative excellence in character licensing, animation, immersive technologies, and licensed product development, highlighting the commercial potential and global competitiveness of Taiwan's original IP industry.
IP-STAR Pop Park is more than a showcase of creativity—it is a premier B2B platform for business matching, licensing, and global market expansion at Creative Expo Taiwan 2026.
By connecting creators with international buyers, brands, retailers, distributors, and investors, the platform creates new business opportunities and accelerates the branding, commercialization, and global growth of Taiwan's original character IPs, bringing IP-STAR to the world stage.
