Explanation of Systems SMEs Can Utilize Now: "Subsidy/Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Namba" to be Held on June 4th (Thursday)

The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Tetsuaki Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy/Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Namba" at the Namba Citizens' Learning Center on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. In this seminar, we will comprehensively explain subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized corporations should know about, especially now with soaring labor and raw material costs. This includes everything from how to find programs applicable to their own company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications. Subsidy/Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Namba Lecture on the latest information regarding subsidy and grant programs to reduce management costs for small and medium-sized corporations. Recently, an increasing number of companies are facing management pressure due to rising 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 for small and medium-sized enterprises. However, the current situation is that the majority of 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 actually utilizing subsidies and grants, indicating 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. Over the past year, we have conducted more than 100 lectures nationwide, with over 9,000 participants, and this time it will be held in Namba. Based on future trends and regional information for Osaka Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar. ■ Event Outline Date: June 4th (Thursday) 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM (Doors open 2:00 PM) Venue: Namba Citizens' Learning Center 〒556-0017 OCAT Building, 1-4-1 Minatomachi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka [Subway] Approximately 12 minutes walk after alighting at "Namba" Station on the Midosuji Line / [JR] Directly above "JR Namba" Station Fee: Free URL: https://smb-japan.or.jp/2026-06-04-3/ (Click here to apply) ■ Program ・Don't miss out!
