Culturecom Holdings Limited (Hong Kong SAR, China)

Culturecom Holdings Limited is a Hong Kong-based company listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (00343.HK). With a history spanning nearly half a century, Culturecom is one of the largest comic content providers in Asia. The company has always adhered to the concept of "promoting Chinese culture and advancing social progress." It seeks new breakthroughs in the cultural field using advanced technology and aspires to become the most respected cultural and creative enterprise. Since the 1970s, Culturecom's comics have been popular among teenagers in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the global Chinese community, with billions of readers. Culturecom holds over 200 comic copyright patents, covering a wide range of genres from martial arts action to modern romance, catering to various comic enthusiasts. Its works, such as "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Chinese Heroes," have set records for the highest sales in the Hong Kong comic industry as weekly and bi-weekly publications, respectively. Culturecom's comics are not limited to the local market, as it is the first Hong Kong company to obtain official authorization for Japanese manga (such as "Hikaru no Go," "Dragon Ball," and "Doraemon") and Western comic licenses. In addition to publishing comics, in 2009, Culturecom licensed Taiwan's Zhonghua NetDragon to develop the "Chinese Heroes Online Game." Within two years, the game achieved remarkable revenue of 1.7 billion New Taiwan dollars (58.31 million US dollars), setting the highest profit record in the Southeast Asian film, television, and animation industry. This demonstrates the profit potential of the comic copyrights held by Culturecom.
