Grant/Subsidy Utilization Seminar 2026 in Matsuyama
Lecture on the latest information regarding grant/subsidy systems that compress management costs for small and medium-sized corporations.
Recently, the number of companies whose management is under pressure due to soaring personnel and raw material costs is increasing. In such circumstances, the national and local governments have prepared many support systems to encourage hiring, wage increases, and capital investment for small and medium-sized enterprises. However, the reality is that the majority of companies are not utilizing these valuable systems for reasons such as "cannot determine which ones can be used by our company," "application seems difficult and inaccessible," or "do not even know who to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are utilizing grants and subsidies, indicating a serious information gap where many small and medium-sized enterprises are missing out on support they could otherwise receive.
To alleviate this gap, this seminar will explain carefully selected grants and subsidies for small and medium-sized corporations. Last year, over 100 lectures were held nationwide, with over 9,000 participants, and this time it will be held in a large venue in Ehime Prefecture for the first time. We will provide concrete measures that can be put into practice immediately after the seminar, taking into account future trends and regional information in Ehime Prefecture.
