Who receives Japan’s subsidies and grants?
The subsidy, grant and transfer awards published by Japan’s ministries (METI’s gBizINFO 補助金情報), searchable three ways: by programme, by ministry and by company. See which programmes your competitors use, which ones your company could apply for, or whether a supplier receives public support. Every company profile also lists its subsidies.
Coverage: 545,877 awards · 131,760 companies · 26,696 programmes · 2013-05-17〜2026-02-27 · refreshed monthly (source: gBizINFO, METI)
Caveats
- Only awards registered in gBizINFO — not every subsidy in Japan is included, and municipal programmes are not covered.
- Amounts are as published (typically the grant decision), which can differ from what was finally paid.
- Recipients include municipalities, universities and associations (they have corporate numbers too).
To look up a company by name, use the company search on the home page — its profile lists the subsidies.
