EY Strategy and Consulting Receives Recognition from Japanese Government for Supporting SMEs
In an important acknowledgment of its contributions to the growth and sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Japan, EY Strategy and Consulting was awarded by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). This recognition stems from EYSC's exceptional support in the 'Large-Scale Growth Investment Subsidy for SMEs' initiative aimed at tackling current labor shortages and fostering regional employment.
The aim of this considerable investment project is to bolster medium and small businesses, ensuring they can overcome labor shortages while maintaining sustainable wage growth in local communities. In its advisory role, EYSC has utilized its extensive industry knowledge and expertise in developing business growth plans. The firm appointed qualified judges with deep expertise to provide tailored advice to applicants on effectively utilizing subsidies and addressing their unique management challenges.
The recent accreditation marks the second consecutive recognition for EYSC, having received accolades for the fiscal year 2023 as well. This highlights the firm's consistent commitment to enhancing the value of enterprises and contributing to job creation through strategic support.
Nobu Ikejiri, Partner in the Public & Social Infrastructure Sector at EYSC, commented, "In today's increasingly uncertain business environment, it becomes crucial for SMEs to invest with a long-term perspective in order to drive future growth. Our efforts have always focused on supporting growth-oriented organizations, integral to local economies. I am delighted that our gained experience from the previous fiscal year could be applied effectively in this initiative."
Moreover, Ikejiri emphasized the firm's resolve to collaborate continually with regional communities to assist businesses in overcoming their challenges. He underlined EY's mission to contribute positively towards increasing the corporate value and creating employment opportunities.
