Solutions for Engineering and Manufacturing
In a manufacturing and engineering sector facing global competition, technological agility and sustainability are no longer options—they are essential. R&D Action provides strategic support by orchestrating access to tax incentives and subsidies, such as the SR&ED tax credit, the IRAP program, by supporting your digital diagnostic and planning initiatives.
With this support, companies can invest in a structured way in automation, advanced manufacturing, and the purchase of equipment or software, while adhering to a responsible model. R&D Action transforms these public levers into drivers of sustainable and competitive performance through rigorous and credible support.
R&D Action Supports You
R&D Action already operates several programs for your technological projects in the engineering and manufacturing sectors. For example, to develop technology :
SR&ED Tax Credit
Recover up to 73% of your experts’ salaries to fund your research and development activities.
According to the Canada Revenue Agency, more than a third of SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax credit claims are for software and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
IRAP
Receive funding at every stage of development, from prototype to market launch of your innovations.
The IRAP (Industrial Research Assistance Program) is a program of the NRC (National Research Centre of Canada) with criteria similar to SR&ED, but with the addition of commercialization activities. The advantage of IRAP lies in the fact that expense reimbursements are made throughout the year (e.g., quarterly), which reduces the impact on the company’s cash flow.
Measures to support technology development
Measures to support technology development are also applicable to engineering and manufacturing projects.
Investissement Québec
Investissement Québec (IQ) aims to encourage manufacturing companies to automate and supports the entire process: from diagnosis to the development of a digital plan, feasibility studies, implementation, and deployment of the solutions identified in the plan :
