Boast Launches AI-Focused Tax Credit Solution for Quebec's CDAE-IA Program

Boast has launched a tech-enabled solution for Quebec's Tax Credit for the Development of E-Business Integrating Artificial Intelligence (CDAE-IA), effective January 1, 2026. This positions Boast as a key partner for Quebec tech companies transitioning from the traditional CDAE to the AI-focused framework.

A report from the Québec Innovation Council indicates that R&D investment in Quebec is low at 1.3% of GDP, prompting a $271.5 million investment to enhance its innovation strategy. Boast's platform integrates with project management systems like Jira and Github to optimize the collection of AI-related activities, offering features such as multi-program optimization, transition strategy support, built-in audit defense, and year-round access. The solution is now available for Quebec-based companies, starting with a complimentary AI integration assessment.
