Thailand‘s Creative Economy Agency (CEA) is launching the Bangkok International Content Market 2026 (BICM2026), one of the country’s first dedicated international marketplaces for film, series, and animation, set to run July 20–22 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok.
The event is being developed jointly with the Department of International Trade Promotion under a broader umbrella initiative, Thailand Content Market 2026 (TCM2026). BICM2026 will focus specifically on B2B business negotiations, investment facilitation, and international co-productions, drawing more than 80 investors and streaming platforms from across the globe.
“Bangkok International Content Market 2026 marks a significant step in systematically elevating Thailand’s content marketplace to the international level,” said Chakrit Pichyangkul, CEA’s executive director. “Through this platform, CEA aims to transform Thai content and storytelling into sustainable economic value for the country.”
The three-day event will feature a content pitching competition across three tracks – Asian Project Pitching, Thai Project Pitching, and Thai Story Pitching – with prizes totaling at least $20,000. More than 55 selected film, series, and production-ready projects from Thailand, the Asia-Pacific region, and BICM partner networks will participate. An exhibitor floor with more than 500 booths will serve studios, creators, and creative businesses seeking to connect with investors and co-production partners.
