Your questions about LTI³.
What is the LTI³ program?
LTI³ (Logistique, Transport, Innovation, Investissement) is a Quebec program supporting digital innovation in the logistics and transport sector. It funds adoption of TMS platforms, supply chain visibility tools, warehouse automation, and AI-driven logistics optimization for Quebec transport and logistics companies.
What companies are eligible?
Quebec companies in logistics, freight transport, warehousing, supply chain management, port operations, and intermodal terminals are eligible. The key requirement is a genuine digital innovation project that improves operational performance, efficiency, or environmental footprint.
What types of digital projects does LTI³ support?
LTI³ supports fleet management systems, supply chain visibility platforms, warehouse automation and robotics, last-mile delivery optimization, intermodal digitization, and AI/data analytics for route optimization and demand forecasting.
Can LTI³ be combined with ESSOR 1C?
Logistics companies meeting ESSOR 1C criteria (≤250 employees, ≥$2.5M revenue) may be eligible for both. LTI³ provides sector-specific support while ESSOR 1C covers broader digital transformation. Hubvention ensures proper stacking and no double-counting.
Does LTI³ cover hardware?
Yes — hardware directly enabling digital innovation (fleet trackers, warehouse automation equipment, terminal sensors) may be eligible under LTI³, unlike some programs limited to software. Specific eligibility is confirmed during the application process.
Is LTI³ available for small transport companies?
Yes. LTI³ targets SMEs in the logistics and transport sector. A small regional trucking company implementing a TMS or fleet tracking platform can qualify, provided the project meets the program's innovation and efficiency improvement criteria.
Can LTI³ be stacked with SR&ED?
Yes, if the digital project includes qualifying R&D work (novel algorithms, new system architectures, unresolved technological uncertainties). SR&ED covers experimental development, while LTI³ covers implementation — both can apply to the same project with proper expense segregation.
How does Hubvention support LTI³ applications?
Hubvention handles eligibility audit, project structuring for the logistics/transport context, budget preparation, narrative, and submission. We also model the LTI³ + ESSOR + SR&ED stack for digital innovation projects with qualifying R&D components.
