IBM plans to invest $150 billion for the following five years to strengthen American economic growth while strengthening their position as leading innovators of advanced computing capabilities. The program invests more than $30 billion in research and development to maintain domestic manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computer production.

"Technology doesn't just build the future, it defines it," said Arvind Krishna, IBM chairman, president, and CEO. "We have been focused on American jobs and manufacturing since our founding 114 years ago, and with this investment and manufacturing commitment we are ensuring that IBM remains the epicenter of the world's most advanced computing and AI capabilities."

IBM functions as one of the largest U.S. technology companies that brought major advancements from supporting U.S. Social Security to aid NASA during the Apollo Program to provide crucial technologies spanning entire industries.

State-of-the-art mainframe systems continue being produced at IBM's facility in Poughkeepsie New York as they function as the technological foundation for economic operations in both American and worldwide markets. Through IBM mainframes processing capabilities the company states that more than 70 percent of financial value transactions worldwide run on hardware that originates from the United States.

The world's largest quantum computer fleet runs under IBM's management as the company continues American operations for designing and building quantum computers. A platform change in technology known as quantum computing possesses the ability to tackle complex issues which standard computation methods cannot handle. IBM predicts quantum computing will boost American economic power and employment possibilities and security measures while improving scientific breakthroughs.

Through its Quantum Network, IBM provides access to its quantum systems for nearly 300 Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, national laboratories, and startups, and currently has over 600,000 active users engaging with its platform.

With this ambitious investment, IBM reaffirms its dedication to American innovation and manufacturing, aiming to spark economic growth both in the U.S. and globally.
