Quebec's AI Revolution: Inside the CDAE-IA Transformation and Boast's Purpose-Built Solution

Episode notes

On the latest episode of What The Tech, we welcome a few members of the Boast team onto the show for a discussion focused specifically on driving (and funding) innovation in Quebec. If you’re a Quebecois business leader or techie, you may have heard that the province’s banner e-business tax credit - known colloquially as CDAE - is being revamped starting next year as the province expands the vision and support for fostering innovative business within Quebec. One of the biggest enhancements to the program is a greater focus on - you guessed it - AI, and rewarding businesses who are using the latest and greatest tools and techniques to push the boundaries on what’s possible when it comes to R&D. Joining the show to unpack it all are Joshua Martin, who leads Boast's Quebec Sales Division, and Blake Nelson, who leads Boast’s product development team and is one of the brains behind our new solution dedicated to claiming R&D tax credits in Quebec as CDAE transforms into CDAE-IA in 2026.
