About the Event

What is offered in the support programs? Who qualifies? How to apply? 

Following the announcement of the Japanese Government’s stimulus package on April 7. in response to the COVID-19 crisis, many small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are wondering what they can receive and how they can apply to the support programs included in the package. Employers and managers are wondering how they qualify based on their employees’ contracts and insurances, and the size of their businesses. The information is frequently updated, extensive and not always easily comprehensible to non-Japanese speakers.

To stay ahead of the curve and be informed on these crucial programs, we will be listening to Ms. Miho Tanaka who possesses broad experience supporting not only startups, but seasoned, foreign businesses operating in Japan. 

Join us on Wednesday for a special seminar, giving you an overview of the existing and newly introduces support programs, and an update on the latest information.
