Miyagi Prefecture: FY2026 Next-Generation Shopping District Formation Support Subsidy (Round 2 Recruitment)

This is a Miyagi Prefecture subsidy supporting next-generation shopping district development, aimed at revitalizing local economies and strengthening commercial functions. Retailers and service providers in shopping districts are eligible, with preferential treatment for businesses coordinated through local chambers of commerce. Subsidy caps and rates vary by detailed guidelines, covering store renovations, equipment investments, digitalization, and new business initiatives. Eligibility requirements differ for shopping district associations versus individual applicants, and preliminary consultation is mandatory. As this is the second call for fiscal 2026 applications, the deadline is approaching and early submission to the Miyagi Prefecture SME Support Center is critical.
