The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Tetsuya Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Nagoya" on July 28 (Tue) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Nagoya Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hall (Fukiage Hall).

This seminar will provide a comprehensive explanation of subsidies and grants that small and medium-sized corporations must know about, especially now with rising labor and raw material costs. It will cover everything from how to find systems applicable to your company to practical know-how for ensuring successful applications.

Subsidy & Grant Utilization Seminar 2026 in Nagoya

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

Recently, an increasing number of companies are facing financial strain due to rising costs of labor, raw materials, and other expenses. In response, 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 many companies are unable to utilize these valuable systems because they "cannot determine which ones are applicable to their business," "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 bridge this gap, this seminar will explain selected subsidy and grant programs for small and medium-sized corporations. We have held over 100 lectures nationwide over the past year, with more than 9,000 companies participating. This event will be held in Nagoya in a large venue. Taking into account future trends and regional information for Aichi Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
