A company’s competitiveness and growth depend, among other things, on the creation of new products and technologies.
R&D and innovation are essential factors in competitiveness, allowing you to optimize your company’s performance and results by constantly improving your processes.
The Innovation Program aims to support businesses, primarily SMEs, in carrying out their innovation projects in Quebec or in collaboration with partners located abroad. It also aims to provide financial support to private companies so that they can pool their efforts (mobilizing projects) to carry out a project to develop an innovative product or process by mobilizing universities, public research centers, and SMEs.
A company that enters into a contract with an approved research center such as CRVI is eligible to receive a provincial tax credit, in addition to a federal tax credit. In this case, the credit applies to all eligible SR&ED expenses, not just salaries.
The mission of industrial research sector clusters (RSRI) is to establish and support a collaborative innovation ecosystem conducive to the development of strategic economic sectors for the benefit of research centers, businesses, and Quebec society. Representing Québec’s leading sectors, the RSRI are in a strong position to support the Québec economy in its quest for growth. It should be noted that the nine (9) clusters have been designated by the Québec government to act as intermediary and funding organizations for collaborative research and development (R&D).
As a college-level technology transfer center, the CRVI is recognized by the Quebec government for the application of tax credits of up to 32% for technological adaptation services and 40% for training.
