Free Webinar on June 10, 2026: Starting AI/DX and New Business Investment with Subsidies and Grants - Key Points for Utilizing Systems to Advance New and Existing Business Strengthening at Low Cost

Customedia Inc. (Head Office: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Koji Miyazaki; hereinafter 'the Company') will hold a free webinar titled 'Starting AI/DX and New Business Investment with Subsidies and Grants - Key Points for Utilizing Systems to Advance New and Existing Business Strengthening at Low Cost' on Wednesday, June 10, from 14:00.

Event Overview

In fiscal year 2026, multiple systems are in place to support companies' AI/DX, new business, and existing business strengthening, including the Digitalization/AI Introduction Subsidy, the Manufacturing Subsidy, the New Business Advancement Subsidy, the Labor-Saving Investment Subsidy, and various grants.

On the other hand, many companies face challenges such as 'not knowing which system suits their company,' 'not having organized what specifically to proceed with using subsidies,' and 'wanting to work on AI, DX, or new platforms but the initial investment is too heavy,' preventing them from taking the first step.

This webinar is not just a public offering briefing session for subsidies. With the main message of 'Turning desired new business and DX investments into realistic investments by utilizing subsidies and grants,' subsidy and grant experts, along with Customedia, which supports AI/DX and platform construction, will provide easy-to-understand explanations on everything from system selection to thinking about business themes and how to incorporate them into system development.

The content combines urgency and practicality, and can also be used as last-minute preparation for the 'Digitalization/AI Introduction Subsidy 2026 (2nd deadline: June 15, 2026).'

Recommended for:

- Those who want to launch a new business (matching sites, platforms, membership services, etc.) but want to keep initial investment low
- Those considering AI introduction, DX, customer touchpoint enhancement, or management system renewal to strengthen existing businesses
- Those who want to create new revenue streams by leveraging the strengths of their main business (real estate, manufacturing, human resources, education, local business, etc.)
- Those who want to introduce rich features or AI integration, which are often given up due to budget constraints, by utilizing subsidies and grants
- Those who want to make investment decisions and choose systems that truly lead to their company's business growth, rather than being subsidy-driven
