The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Nara" on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 9:30 to 11:30 at Acty Nara. This seminar will comprehensively explain subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized corporations should know about, especially now with soaring personnel and raw material costs. It will cover everything from how to find schemes applicable to one's own company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications. Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Nara Lecture on the latest information regarding subsidy and grant schemes to reduce management costs for small and medium-sized corporations. Recently, an increasing number of companies are experiencing management pressure due to rising costs such such as personnel expenses and raw materials. In this situation, national and local governments offer numerous support schemes to encourage hiring, wage increases, and capital investment by small and medium-sized enterprises. However, a large majority of companies are not utilizing these valuable schemes, citing reasons such as "cannot determine which ones are applicable to our company," "applications seem too difficult to attempt," or "don't even know who to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are utilizing subsidies and grants, creating a serious information disparity where many SMEs are missing out on support they are entitled to receive. To alleviate this disparity, this seminar will explain carefully selected subsidies and grants for small and medium-sized corporations. Last year, the association conducted over 100 lectures nationwide, with more than 9,000 participants. This time, the event will be held in Nara. Based on future trends and regional information for Nara Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar. ■ Event Outline Date: June 4 (Thursday) 9:30-11:30 (Doors open 9:10) Venue: Acty Nara 〒630-8241 5-4 Takamachi, Nara City, Ogata Building 5F 2 minutes walk from Kintetsu Nara Station Fee: Free URL: https://smb-japan.or.jp/2026-06-04-1/ (Click here to apply) ■ Program ・Don't miss out!
