Subsidy Cloud and Toyo Begin Business Alliance: Supporting Corporate Growth Investments with Global Network x 'Subsidy Cloud for Sales'

Stayway Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Representative Director: Atsushi Sato, hereinafter 'Stayway'), which operates 'Hojokin Cloud,' has commenced a business alliance with Toyo Corporation (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director and President: Iichiro Haga, hereinafter 'Toyo') regarding subsidy utilization support.

Through this alliance, Stayway will provide 'Hojokin Cloud for Sales' to Toyo, supporting the enhancement of its customer proposal capabilities and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, by combining Toyo's global network with Hojokin Cloud's services, the aim is to globally promote sustainable growth for companies, not just domestically.

Background of the Business Alliance

On April 7, 2026, the FY2026 budget, the largest ever, was enacted. The core of the government's 'responsible proactive fiscal policy' lies in a 'virtuous cycle of investment and growth' through strategic investments in infrastructure and advanced technologies. This strong impetus is expected to further accelerate growth investments such as DX, GX, and labor-saving in manufacturing sites.

Toyo, as a global technology trading company supporting the manufacturing industry, has deeply engaged in companies' growth investments by leveraging its domestic and international networks. In this changing environment, reducing the financial burden on customers for equipment investments while enhancing the added value of customer proposals has become an important theme for the company.

Against this backdrop, Hojokin Cloud and Toyo have concluded a business alliance. Through this alliance, Toyo's sales representatives will utilize 'Hojokin Cloud for Sales' to not only offer optimal technical proposals that solve on-site challenges but also propose financial strategies using subsidies, thereby providing a total solution that supports everything from equipment introduction to financial planning. This aims to create new points of contact with corporate customers, strengthen relationships, improve customer satisfaction, and support the growth investments of globally expanding client companies.

Overview of the Business Alliance

By utilizing 'Hojokin Cloud for Sales,' Toyo will be able to make optimal subsidy proposals tailored to customer needs, using a database searchable for over 9,000 types of subsidies. This will enable personalized proposals for each customer, contributing to the promotion of growth investments.

Furthermore, if customers wish to apply for subsidies, experts belonging to Hojokin Cloud, such as certified public accountants and administrative scriveners, will support the application, reliably promoting the realization of growth investments.

Comments from both company representatives

Mr. Iichiro Haga, Representative Director and President, Toyo Corporation

As a global trading company, we have contributed to the realization of a sustainable society by providing excellent products from around the world. In doing so, we have consistently pursued customer-first principles, facing customer challenges head-on and striving to provide optimal value.

Through this alliance with Hojokin Cloud, by incorporating subsidy proposals utilizing 'Hojokin Cloud for Sales,' we can provide even more value-added proposals for our customers' equipment investments. Going forward, we will further contribute to improving customer productivity and realizing growth investments through the global network and proposal capabilities we have cultivated.

Mr. Atsushi Sato, Representative Director, Stayway Inc.

We are extremely pleased to form a business alliance with Toyo Corporation, which has extensive achievements and networks in the manufacturing sector. In recent years, as policies promoting corporate growth investments have expanded, the utilization of subsidies has become one of the important options for corporate management. However, it is also a reality that many companies are unable to fully utilize them due to the complexity of the system and scattered information.

Through this alliance, in addition to proposal support via 'Hojokin Cloud for Sales' and application support by experts, we aim to create an environment where corporate growth investments can be executed more easily by combining Toyo's global network and expertise accumulated through business improvement initiatives.

Hojokin Cloud will continue to contribute to the sustainable growth of Japanese companies through collaboration with partner companies.
