Manufacturing startups can apply for Yamagata Prefecture’s support grants from October 22 to November 20, 2026. The published scheme covers half of eligible costs, with ceilings of ¥1.5 million for business launches, ¥1 million for general commercialisation and ¥2 million for large-scale commercialisation projects.

The programme distinguishes launching a business from bringing a manufacturing idea to market. Launch support concerns startups founded, or due to be founded, from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027; commercialisation categories use a start date of March 1, 2024. The large-scale category also specifies expected employment and sales outcomes. Applicants should consult the linked guidelines for full conditions.
