The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Grant & Subsidy Utilization Seminar 2026 in Tokushima" on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, from 14:30 to 16:30 at Tokugin Tomoni Plaza (Tokushima Prefectural Youth Center). In this seminar, we will comprehensively explain the grants and subsidies that small and medium-sized corporations should know about, especially now that labor costs and raw material costs continue to soar. This includes everything from how to find schemes applicable to your company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications.

Grant & Subsidy Utilization Seminar 2026 in Tokushima

Lecture on the latest information regarding grant and subsidy systems to reduce management costs for small and medium-sized corporations.

Recently, an increasing number of companies are facing management pressure due to soaring labor costs, raw material costs, and other expenses. In this situation, national and local governments offer numerous 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 unable to utilize these valuable systems due to reasons such as "cannot determine which ones are applicable to our company," "application seems 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 could otherwise receive.

To alleviate this disparity, this seminar will explain carefully selected grants and subsidies for small and medium-sized corporations. Last year, we conducted over 100 lectures nationwide, with more than 9,000 companies participating, and this time it will be held in Tokushima. Based on future trends and regional information for Tokushima Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
