The Japan Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Managers (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidies and Grants Utilization Seminar 2026 in Fukushima" on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, from 15:00 to 16:30 at Teihoku Logistics (Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture). This seminar will comprehensively explain the subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should know about, especially now when labor and raw material costs continue to rise.

Latest Information on Subsidies and Grants Systems to Reduce Management Costs for SMEs
Recently, an increasing number of companies are experiencing management pressure due to soaring labor costs and raw material prices. In such circumstances, national and local governments offer numerous support systems to back SMEs in recruitment, wage increases, and capital investment. However, the reality is that the majority of companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems, citing reasons such as: "I can't determine which ones are applicable to my company," "Applications seem too difficult to attempt," or "I don't even know whom to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies successfully utilize subsidies and grants, indicating a serious information disparity where many SMEs miss out on support they are entitled to receive.
To alleviate this disparity, this seminar will provide explanations on carefully selected subsidies and grants for SMEs.
Having conducted over 100 lectures nationwide and hosted over 9,000 participants last year, this time the seminar will be held in Fukushima. We will convey concrete measures that can be immediately implemented after the seminar, taking into account future trends and information specific to the Tohoku and Fukushima regions.
