It pays certified businesses \"当該取組に係る申請者負担額の1／2の助成金\" (a grant of half the applicant's cost of the undertaking) and lists the grant decisions (交付決定事業) with approximate amounts and the fiscal year of the decision: nine as read, the latest three in 令和8年度 (FY2026). Rechecked in full on 3 October 2026 against the current official page (ten grant-decision rows). Allied Material remains an approximately JPY 7.5 billion decision in FY2025, without a calendar decision date or cash-payment disclosure. The 助成率 table states half the applicant's costs as an upper limit, not an exact project-wide ratio."
