The Japan Small and Medium Business Owners Association (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director Tetsuya Ishiguro) will hold the "Subsidies and Grants Utilization Seminar 2026 in Niigata" on July 23, 2026 (Thu) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Niigata Prefectural Civic Center. 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.

Subsidies and Grants Utilization Seminar 2026 in Niigata

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 management pressure due to rising costs of labor, raw materials, and other expenses. In response to this situation, national and local governments offer numerous support systems to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises 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 the first place." In fact, only 5.5% of companies are able to utilize subsidies and grants, creating a serious information gap where many small and medium-sized enterprises are missing out on support they are entitled to.

To help reduce this gap, this seminar will explain selected subsidies and grants 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 Niigata. Taking into account future trends and local information specific to Niigata Prefecture, we will provide concrete measures that can be implemented immediately after the seminar.
