Lunch & Learn - Funding Innovation Through Scientific Research and Experimental Development

  • ReSourceYYC 2000 125 9 Avenue Southeast Calgary, AB, T2G 0P6 Canada (map)

Online Event

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Interested in learning how investing in innovation drives businesses forward? This Lunch & Learn will focus on how to leverage the Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax incentive program (SR & ED).

This is the largest government program dedicated to supporting innovation in Canada. SR & ED awards more than 3 billion dollars every year and is non-competitive, meaning you aren’t competing for a finite pool of money. Many companies in Alberta recoup around 50% of their Research and Development spend.

Topics to expect include;

  • Overview of the SR & ED Program

  • What projects are eligible?

  • What refund do you qualify for?

  • What costs can be claimed?

For more insight on the topic check out the SR & ED 101 Video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2_4DMzEop4
