Explaining Systems SMEs Can Utilize Immediately: "Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Hiroshima" Held on July 22 (Wed)

The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director Tetsuo Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Hiroshima" on July 22 (Wed) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Alele A Hall (Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture). This seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized corporations must know about, especially with the ongoing rise in labor and raw material costs. It will cover everything from how to find applicable systems for your company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications.

Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Hiroshima

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

In recent years, an increasing number of companies are facing financial strain due to rising costs of labor, raw materials, and other expenses. Amidst this situation, the national and local governments have prepared numerous support systems to encourage SMEs in areas such as hiring, wage increases, and capital investment. However, the reality is that most companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems because they "cannot determine which ones are applicable to their company," "find the application process too difficult to even start," or "don't know who to consult." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are successfully utilizing subsidies and grants, creating a serious information gap where many SMEs are missing out on support they are entitled to.

To help reduce this gap, this seminar will explain selected subsidy and grant programs for small and medium-sized corporations. With over 100 lectures held nationwide last year, attracting more than 9,000 participants, this event will be held in a large venue in Hiroshima City. Taking into account future trends and local information specific to Hiroshima Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
