The Japan Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Management (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Grants and Subsidies Utilization Seminar 2026 in Yamagata" at the Yamagata Prefectural Lifelong Learning Center Yugakukan from 10:00 to 11:30 on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. In this seminar, we will thoroughly explain the grants and subsidies that SMEs should know about right now as labor and material costs continue to soar, covering everything from how to find systems your company is eligible for to practical know-how to ensure your applications pass.
Lectures on the Latest Information on Grant and Subsidy Systems to Reduce Operating Costs for SMEs
Recently, an increasing number of companies are experiencing financial pressure due to soaring labor and material costs. In this situation, the national and local governments have prepared numerous support systems to back SME recruitment, wage increases, and capital investments. However, the current reality is that the vast majority of companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems for reasons such as "we cannot judge which ones our company can use," "the application seems difficult and we can't get started," or "we don't even know who to consult with in the first place." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are able to utilize grants and subsidies, resulting in a serious information gap where many SMEs are missing out on support they are originally entitled to receive.
To reduce this gap, this seminar will explain carefully selected grants and subsidies for SMEs. Over the past year, we have held over 100 lectures nationwide, with over 9,000 companies participating, and this time we will hold the event in Yamagata Prefecture. Based on future trends and local information in Yamagata Prefecture, we will convey specific measures that can be put into practice immediately after the seminar ends.
