Fukuoka City revised its location subsidy system in April 2026 to accelerate the clustering of fabless companies involved in advanced semiconductor development and design. In addition to relaxing rental requirements and expanding hiring subsidies, the city introduced a new subsidy covering 50% of equipment introduction costs, such as EDA tools and clean rooms, up to a maximum of 10 million yen. This makes it easier for small startups to expand into Fukuoka City, strongly supporting the creation of a semiconductor design hub.
