Abstract
By citing a successful R&D project as an example, the significance of the government supporting program is briefly outlined from the view point of encouraging small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) to their accomplishment of R&D projects. For SMEs which are not furnished with sufficient operating resources, taking full advantage of the government supporting program is quite effective to put R&D projects into practice. Such programs as the technology transfer run by the Japan Technomart Foundation, and the financial support and the technical consultation run by the prefectural government are recommended to be fully incorporated in the R&D project.
