J-LOP+ Content Localization Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how studios and creators can access subsidies for subtitling, dubbing, and marketing their content to international audiences.
This scheme provides financial assistance to help creators and studios adapt their work for global audiences.
Who it's for
This support is available for studios and individual creators who are exporting their content to markets outside of Japan.
What you get
You can receive subsidies to cover the costs of making your content accessible to international viewers. This includes funding for subtitling, dubbing, and various marketing efforts used to promote your work abroad.
What it costs you
To qualify for the support, you must provide official proof that your content is being distributed internationally.
