Navit Co., Ltd., through its 'Joseikin-now' platform, has announced the commencement of support services for the 'SME Digital Introduction Promotion Subsidy Program' initiated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

This program is designed to subsidize expenses related to the introduction of digital tools and AI, providing up to 1.5 million yen (with a subsidy rate of up to 2/3). The application window is scheduled from June 11 (Thursday) to July 3 (Friday), 2026.

### Eligible Expenses The subsidy covers the purchase cost of new digital tools (main unit) and associated costs such as initial setup, customization, and operation/maintenance support. Examples include cloud-based accounting software and business automation tools. While general-purpose hardware like PCs and tablets are excluded, specialized equipment integrated with software (e.g., smart registers) may be eligible under specific conditions.

### Subsidy Rates and Limits The standard subsidy rate is up to 1/2 of eligible expenses. However, this increases to 2/3 for small-scale enterprises or when adopting tools that contribute to environmental load reduction. The maximum grant is 1.5 million yen, with a minimum application amount of 50,000 yen.

Navit is currently accepting consultations and support requests for this subsidy through their dedicated inquiry channel.
