This seminar will comprehensively explain grants and subsidies that SMEs should know about, especially now with rising labor and raw material costs. It will cover everything from how to find eligible programs for your company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications. Grant and Subsidy Utilization Seminar 2026 in Tokushima Lecture on the latest information regarding grant and subsidy programs to reduce management costs for SMEs. Recently, an increasing number of companies are facing management pressure due to soaring labor costs and raw material prices. In this situation, national and local governments offer numerous support programs to encourage hiring, wage increases, and capital investment by SMEs. However, the reality is that most companies are unable to utilize these valuable programs due to reasons such as "cannot determine which ones are applicable to our company," "applications seem difficult and daunting," or "don't even know who to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are utilizing grants and subsidies, leading to a serious information gap where many SMEs are missing out on support they are entitled to. To alleviate this disparity, this seminar will explain carefully selected grants and subsidies for SMEs. Over the past year, the Association has conducted more than 100 lectures nationwide, with over 9,000 companies participating. This time, the seminar will be held in Tokushima. We will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar, taking into account future trends and regional information specific to Tokushima Prefecture. ■ Event Outline Date: May 26 (Tuesday), 14:30-16:30 (Doors open 14:00) Venue: Tokugin Tomoni Plaza (Tokushima Prefectural Youth Center) 〒770-0831 1-5 Terashimahoncho Nishi, Tokushima City Approximately 1 minute walk from JR Tokushima Station Fee: Free URL: https://smb-japan.or.jp/2026-5-26-2/ (Click here to apply) ■ Program - Don't miss out!
