The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Tetsuya Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy and Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Sendai" on August 6 (Thu) from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM at Tokyo Electron Hall Miyagi. This seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized corporations must know about, especially now with rising labor and raw material costs. It will cover everything from how to find systems applicable to your company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications.

Subsidy and Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Sendai

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

Recently, an increasing number of companies are facing management pressure due to rising labor and raw material costs. In response, national and local governments offer numerous support systems to encourage hiring, wage increases, and capital investment by small and medium-sized enterprises. 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 small and medium-sized enterprises are missing out on support they are entitled to.

To mitigate 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 event will be held in Sendai at a large venue. Based on future trends and regional information for Miyagi Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
