IBM has committed $150 billion to the US economy over the next five years, with a significant portion earmarked for research and development in quantum, AI, and mainframe technologies. The goal is to stay ahead in computing by doubling down on America-made systems. According to IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, this move underscores the company’s commitment to American jobs and manufacturing, a focus that has been a part of the company’s mission since its founding over a century ago.

IBM already builds mainframes in New York that handle over 70 percent of the world’s transaction value. It runs the world’s largest fleet of quantum systems and plans to keep building them in the US. With hundreds of thousands already tapping into its tech, IBM is making a long-term bet on America as the home of next-gen computing.
