The Japan SME Executives Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Sendai" at the Sendai Civic Auditorium (Aoba-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, from 15:00 to 16:30. In this seminar, we will thoroughly explain the subsidies and grants that SME corporations must know about right now, amidst the continuous rise in labor and raw material costs, from how to find systems your company is eligible for to practical know-how for ensuring your application is approved.
[Lecturing on the Latest Information on Subsidy & Grant Systems that Compress SME Management Costs]
Recently, an increasing number of companies are feeling the squeeze on management due to soaring labor and raw material costs. Under these circumstances, national and local governments have prepared numerous support systems to back SMEs in hiring, wage hikes, and capital investments. However, the reality is that the vast majority of companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems for reasons such as "I cannot judge which ones my company can use," "It looks too difficult to apply," or "I don't even know who to consult in the first place." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are successfully utilizing subsidies and grants, creating a severe information gap where many SMEs are missing out on the support they are originally entitled to receive.
To mitigate this gap, this seminar will explain carefully selected subsidies and grants for SME corporations.
Over the past year, we have conducted over 100 lectures nationwide, with over 9,000 companies participating. This time, it will be held in Sendai. Based on future trends and local information in Miyagi Prefecture, we will convey concrete measures that can be put into practice immediately after the seminar concludes.
