[June 10th (Wed) 14:00-] Free Participation: Stayway to Speak at Webinar on 'AI/DX and New Business Investment Using Subsidies'

On June 10 (Wed) from 14:00 to 15:30, Stayway consultant Makoto Shinohara will speak at a free webinar hosted by Custmedia, titled: "AI/DX and New Business Investment Using Subsidies: Key Points for Utilizing Systems to Advance New and Existing Business Enhancements at Low Cost."

Event Overview

In fiscal year 2026, multiple programs are active to support corporate AI/DX and new/existing business strengthening, including the Digitization & AI Implementation Subsidy, IT Implementation Subsidy, New Business Expansion Subsidy, and Labor-saving Investment Subsidy.

However, many companies are unable to take the first step due to challenges such as "not knowing which system is suitable," "not having organized concrete projects for subsidy usage," or "facing heavy initial investment for AI, DX, or new platforms."

This webinar is not merely a briefing session for subsidy application guidelines. With the main message of "transforming desired new business/DX investments into 'realistic investments' using subsidies," experts in subsidies and Custmedia (specializing in AI/DX and platform development) will explain the process clearly, from selecting systems to defining business themes and implementing them into system development.

It is an urgent and practical session, also useful as last-minute preparation for the "Digitization & AI Implementation Subsidy 2026 (2nd application deadline: June 15, 2026)."

Recommended for:

- Those who want to launch a new business (matching sites, platforms, membership services, etc.) but want to reduce initial investment. - Those considering AI implementation, DX, enhancing customer touchpoints, or renewing management systems to strengthen existing businesses. - Those who want to create new revenue streams by leveraging the strengths of their core business (real estate, manufacturing, human resources, education, regional business, etc.). - Those who want to implement rich features or AI integration that they would usually give up on due to budget constraints by using subsidies. - Those who want to make investment decisions and system selections that truly lead to business growth, rather than just prioritizing subsidies.
