PlanBase's Participation in the 2026 Osaka Doterai Market

PlanBase, a consultancy specializing in subsidy application and management support based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is excited to announce its participation in the "2026 Osaka Doterai Market". Scheduled for July 9 to 11, 2026, this prominent exhibition will be managed by Yamazen Co., Ltd. The Doterai Market focuses on various industrial machinery and tools, marking its 50th anniversary in 2025. It has a longstanding history of supporting equipment investments across numerous manufacturing enterprises, attracting a large volume of visitors each year.

Importance of Equipment Investment in Changing Times

The manufacturing sector is currently facing significant challenges, including labor shortages and rising raw material costs. As a response to these issues, the importance of capital investment has surged. However, the subsidy landscape has become increasingly complex and diversified, leaving many companies uncertain about their eligibility. Common concerns include: "I know subsidies exist, but I’m unaware of their applicability to my situation," and "There are so many types of subsidies; which one should I apply for?" To address these challenges, PlanBase aims to offer expert advice and individualized consultations during the Doterai Market, where companies focused on equipment investment will gather.

At the PlanBase booth, we will conduct free consultations tailored for companies considering equipment investments and new project developments.

What is the Doterai Market?

The Doterai Market has played a pivotal role in supporting capital investments in the manufacturing sector by showcasing industrial machines, tooling, and construction materials since its inception in 1975. It has become a beloved event for local business owners, providing a valuable opportunity to encounter the latest technologies and equipment directly. As it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it continues to flourish as a practical negotiation platform where participants can compare and deliberate on equipment and technologies, leading to potential integrations into their operations.

Message to Visitors

"In recent years, fluctuations in energy prices, workforce shortages, and initiatives towards carbon neutrality have dramatically transformed the operational landscape for companies. This climate necessitates a reevaluation of the principles surrounding capital investments. Subsidy programs are no longer merely cost-cutting tools but are integral to aligning with your growth strategies. As we approach 2026, improvements in programs designed to promote labor-saving, energy-efficient investments and productivity enhancement are anticipated. However, confusion exists around the changes and overall subsidy structure. Too often, formulation of investment strategies is hindered by an inability to connect subsidies with the right equipment decisions during exhibitions. Our booth at the Doterai Market aims to clarify how to position subsidies effectively based on the equipment and investment plans under consideration. We strive to communicate insights connecting detailed subsidy requirements with long-term investment strategies succinctly. Conversations at this exhibition can serve as a stepping stone towards collaborative and progressive corporate investments moving forward."
