Subsides and Incentives

The Osaka City Government and the Osaka Prefectural Government offer various subsidies & incentives to help companies and organisations establish a new presence in Osaka.

Together with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, they created the Osaka Business Investment Center (O-BIC). O-BIC's role is to provide potential investors with relevant information and business support, in order to facilitate their entry into the Japanese market via Osaka.

Currently, the following fields are prioritised to receive subsidies: medical and social services, lifestyle-related, information and communications, environment-related, human resources development, bio and nanotechnology, and robot technology.

While there are guidelines prescribing eligibility for the subsidies, applications may also be considered on a case by case basis. You might also be able to take advantage of the corporate tax incentives that are being offered to encourage foreign entrepreneurship in Osaka.
