The Telecommunication industry is at the forefront of connecting people, devices, and services in an increasingly digital world. From next-generation 5G and 6G networks to IoT-enabled smart cities, telecom companies are driving technological innovation under immense operational and competitive pressure. Scaling networks, optimizing spectrum, and delivering ultra-reliable connectivity all demand significant research and experimentation, often in areas where no standard solutions exist.
Ayming helps Telecommunication companies navigate government funding programs, including SR&ED tax credits, grants, and non-dilutive financing. By identifying and capturing eligible R&D activities, we provide funding support to accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and stay competitive.

The Telecommunication industry is at the forefront of connecting people, devices, and services in an increasingly digital world. From next-generation 5G and 6G networks to IoT-enabled smart cities, telecom companies are driving technological innovation under immense operational and competitive pressure. Scaling networks, optimizing spectrum, and delivering ultra-reliable connectivity all demand significant research and experimentation, often in areas where no standard solutions exist.

How we can help to maximize your results
We help Telecommunication companies identify and claim all eligible SR&ED activities embedded in their R&D. From 5G/6G network scaling, edge and IoT communications, and low-latency protocol development to self-healing networks, predictive AI/ML models, and cross-network integration.
Our comprehensive support includes:
- Technical Expertise and Project Framing: Many Telecom companies lack the in-house resources or expertise to effectively identify and articulate eligible SR&ED work within their projects. Work such as designing new network protocols, testing ultra-low latency solutions, or building predictive AI models is often overlooked. Our specialized consultants work closely with your team to fully understand your R&D activities, translating them into compelling, compliant SR&ED narratives that align with CRA eligibility criteria. This maximizes claim potential while reducing audit risk.
- Improve Internal SR&ED Documentation Processes: While Telecom teams use network management and project tracking tools, most lack structured processes to capture SR&ED-eligible work in real time. We review your existing systems and implement strategies to document technical uncertainties, experiments, and results without disrupting workflows, ensuring every innovation is properly recorded.
- Clarifying eligibility for client-funded work: Telecom companies often assume that client-funded projects are ineligible. In fact, work retaining technical risk and involving eligible R&D in Canada often qualifies—even with international collaborations. We assess contracts, intellectual property ownership, and technical scope to determine eligibility and guide future agreements to maximize SR&ED potential without compromising commercial objectives.
- Audit defense and compliance strategy: CRA increasingly scrutinizes SR&ED claims in Telecom due to the technical complexity of networks and AI-driven solutions. We provide early warnings on audit trends and policy changes and manage end-to-end audit responses to minimize disruption.
With Ayming, your R&D translates into impactful SR&ED claims that maximize funding and support growth.
The E-Business Tax Credit (CDAE) provides telecommunication companies with a powerful way to reduce costs while driving digital transformation. If your Quebec-based operations include at least six full-time employees focused primarily on AI, network optimization, secure digital platforms, or next-generation communication technologies, you may qualify.
At Ayming, we support telecommunication providers throughout the entire process by securing certification, maximizing claims, and ensuring compliance so you can fully leverage this credit. By partnering with us, you can lower operating costs, reinvest tax savings into infrastructure and innovation, and strengthen your competitive edge in an increasingly connected world.
The Multimedia Tax Credit is a lucrative incentive for telecommunication companies developing interactive digital platforms, immersive content, or next-generation customer engagement solutions. With refundable credits of up to 40% on eligible labour costs and in some provinces, on marketing and distribution expenses, you can significantly reduce the cost of innovation while accelerating digital transformation.
If your Quebec, Ontario, or British Columbia operations involve projects such as AR/VR communication tools, mobile applications, educational platforms, or interactive digital experiences, your business could qualify.
At Ayming, we help telecom providers navigate the complexities of the program to secure certification, maximize claims, and ensure compliance. By leveraging this powerful incentive, you can reinvest savings into infrastructure, reduce project risks, and attract top digital talent to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.
We help telecommunication companies unlock the full potential of Quebec’s Incentive Deduction for the Commercialization of Innovations (IDCI). This program can reduce the provincial tax rate on eligible income from qualified intellectual property assets (QIPAs) from 11.5% to as low as 2%, rewarding businesses that conduct R&D in Quebec and commercialize their innovations locally or globally.
By strategically leveraging this incentive alongside investments in infrastructure, network technologies, and advanced communication systems, telecom companies can improve efficiency, accelerate the rollout of innovative solutions, and maximize the value of their intellectual property.
Our team of experts ensures these incentives are fully optimized and compliant, enabling telecom innovators to scale, strengthen their competitive edge, and make the most of every R&D investment.
