Commentary

17. The only application slot for the XNUMXth public recruitment is the labor-saving (custom-made) slot.

In a previous release from the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency, there were three application slots for the manufacturing subsidy.
However, in the 17th public offering, only labor-saving (custom-made) slots are available.
Other application slots will be available from the 18th call for applications.
As stated in page 6 of the public recruitment guidelines, businesses that apply for the 17th public recruitment cannot apply for the 18th public recruitment.

Furthermore, "labor saving" refers to the introduction of specialized equipment that utilizes digital technology, etc., in order to resolve labor shortages.

*For details, please see page 13 of the public recruitment guidelines.

2. Oral examination begins

If the amount of the subsidy application exceeds a certain level, an oral examination will be conducted online for approximately 15 minutes.
The examination will be conducted from the perspective of business suitability, feasibility, etc.
You need to carefully check the contents of your business plan.

3. Labor productivity must be clearly stated

Since it is a labor-saving quota, it is necessary to clearly state labor productivity.
Specifically, its activities include:
"Added value (production volume if calculation of added value is difficult)/(Number of workers x working hours)"
.
Within the 3-5 year business planning period, it is necessary to formulate a business plan for the subsidized project that will more than double the labor productivity compared to before the capital investment.

For detailed information, please see the application guidelines on the Manufacturing Subsidy website.
