About the Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy

The Digitalization and AI Adoption Subsidy (formerly: IT Introduction Subsidy) is a system that supports business efficiency and sales improvement by subsidizing a portion of the expenses incurred by small and medium-sized enterprises and small businesses when introducing IT tools that match their specific challenges and needs.

The aim is to enhance and strengthen management capabilities by enabling companies to recognize and analyze their strengths and weaknesses based on their current environment, and then introduce IT tools that align with their identified management issues and demands.
