The definitive countermeasure for SME management! The Japan SME Management Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the 'Grant & Subsidy Utilization Seminar 2026 in Morioka' at Malios Morioka (Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture) on Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30. In this seminar, we will explain all at once the grants and subsidies that SMEs need to know now, especially as labor and raw material costs continue to soar. We will cover everything from how to find systems your company is eligible for, to practical know-how to ensure your application is approved.
Delivering the Latest Information on Grant & Subsidy Systems that Reduce SME Management Costs
Recently, an increasing number of companies have been financially squeezed due to soaring labor and raw material costs. In this situation, the national and local governments have prepared numerous support systems to back SMEs in hiring, raising wages, and making capital investments. However, the reality is that the vast majority of companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems for reasons such as 'unable to judge which ones our company can use,' 'applications seem too difficult to attempt,' or 'don't know who to consult in the first place.' In fact, only 5.5% of companies are successfully utilizing grants and subsidies, resulting in a serious information gap where many SMEs are missing out on support they are entitled to receive.
To reduce this gap, this seminar will explain carefully selected grants and subsidies for SMEs.
Having held over 100 lectures nationwide in the past year with over 9,000 participating companies, we are bringing this event to Morioka. Considering future trends and regional information specific to the Tohoku region and Iwate Prefecture, we will share concrete measures that can be put into practice immediately after the seminar concludes.
