Subsidies and Grants Utilization Seminar 2026 in Nagano

Lecture on the latest information on subsidy and grant systems to reduce operating costs for small and medium-sized corporations.

In recent years, an increasing number of companies are facing financial strain due to rising labor and raw material costs. Amidst this situation, national and local governments offer numerous support systems to encourage SMEs in areas such as hiring, wage increases, and capital investment. However, the reality is that most companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems because they "cannot determine which ones are applicable to their company," "find the application process too difficult to start," or "don't know who to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are able to utilize subsidies and grants, creating a serious information gap where many SMEs are missing out on support they are entitled to.

To help bridge this gap, this seminar will explain selected subsidies and grants for small and medium-sized corporations. We have held over 100 lectures nationwide over the past year, with more than 9,000 companies participating. This time, the seminar will be held in Nagano. Based on future trends and regional information specific to Nagano Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
