How to Fund Your Automation: Quebec Grants and Tax Credits for 2026

Turn Your Automation Vision into Reality with Government Support

For many Montreal manufacturers, the biggest barrier to Industry 4.0 isn’t the technology—it’s the initial investment. However, the Quebec government offers aggressive incentives to encourage local companies to automate. Aidtech helps you design projects that qualify for these lucrative programs.

1. The C3i Tax Credit (Investment and Innovation)

The C3i tax credit is a game-changer. It allows companies to recover up to 25% of the costs associated with the acquisition of manufacturing and processing equipment, including electronic hardware like our UL 508A control panels and DUCO collaborative robots.

2. The ESSOR Program

Managed by Investissement Québec, the ESSOR program supports investment projects that increase productivity. If your project involves replacing an obsolete control system with an Aidtech modern PLC solution to reduce energy waste or labor dependency, you could be eligible for significant non-repayable contributions.

3. How Aidtech Helps You Qualify

  • Detailed Documentation: We provide the technical specifications and certifications (UL/CSA) required for grant applications.
  • Efficiency Audits: We demonstrate how our DUCO cobot integration directly improves your plant’s throughput—a key metric for IQ auditors.

Don’t leave money on the table. Contact Aidtech today to discuss how your next automation project can be partially funded by Quebec’s tax incentives.
