When AI performs the R&D, can you still claim SR&ED tax credits?

​When artificial intelligence tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, Google Antigravity, and other large language models (LLMs) perform much of the programming work, can companies still claim SRED tax credits for the salaries of software developers who now supervise AI coding?

​Komi Sodoké, PhD in AI and Technology Director, and Pierre Savignac, CEO and founder, both from Emergex SRED Consultants (https://www.emergex.com/en/), will share their practical experience on how companies can navigate this new reality.

​This free workshop will explain how to justify and maximize SR&ED tax credits while minimizing audit risks by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

​Venue: Only 5-minute walk from the Grand Quai, where Startupfest is taking place. Drinks and light snacks will be served.

​Who should attend?
CEO, CFO and CTO of software companies with at least 2 salaried developers will find the greatest benefits.
