Results of Adoptions for Subsidies for Temporary-Secondment Start-Ups:Businesses Adopted for Subsidies through the First Public Call for the FY2021 Budget

1. Outline of the adoptions

Through the FY2021 budget's Business Expense Subsidies to Support the Creation of New Businesses by Large Companies' Human Resources. (Project to Promote the Creation of New Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Businesses), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is supporting new "temporary-secondment start-up" businesses that human resources at large companies launch and run themselves by raising external funding or investing their personal assets, without leaving the companies they work for.

It aims to increase the number of new business entrepreneurs even during the COVID-19 pandemic, by encouraging the opening up of management resources (including human resources and intellectual property) that have not been fully utilized in large companies thus far.

METI hereby announces that it has adopted eleven businesses (nine of which are new ones) after conducting a public call from April 16 to May 31, 2021, followed by a review by an external examination committee.

A second public call is expected to begin around August.
