Recruiting Participants: Seminar on Subsidies for Logistics Automation

SoftBank Robotics Corp. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hidehide Tomizawa), in collaboration with SATO INTERNATIONAL GROUP and SATO Administrative Scrivener Corporation (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; Representative: Norinori Abe), will hold an online seminar on April 14, 2026 (Tuesday) to explain the features and key points of utilizing subsidies for promoting logistics automation. In the logistics industry, where challenges such as labor shortages are becoming increasingly severe, there is growing interest in capital investment and business reform using subsidy systems to improve productivity and achieve sustainable logistics. However, many companies are hesitant to proceed with implementation due to difficulties in determining which subsidies to use and the complexity of the application process. This seminar will review the 2025 subsidy systems, provide an overview of notable 2026 subsidies, and introduce evaluation points based on selection criteria and case studies. Furthermore, we will introduce a service that provides end-to-end support from subsidy application to the introduction of automation equipment through the partnership between SoftBank Robotics and SATO Administrative Scrivener Corporation.
