- IBM is the last to announce the main American investments, totaling $ 150 billion
- $ 30 billion will be reserved for quantum computer science
- IBM has lost 15 US government contracts
IBM confirmed its intention to invest $ 150 billion in the United States over the next five years (via PK Press Club), including more than $ 30 billion dedicated to the expansion of quantum computer manufacturing and manufacturing between mainframe.
The news comes only a few days after the company announced its financial results in the first quarter, displaying an increase of 1% on the other of income to $ 14.5 billion.
More broadly, this is a trend that we see in the technological industry, the prices imposed by the United States attracting more companies to invest in the United States-Apple and Nvidia have already promised to invest $ 500 billion in the United States.
IBM is the last to announce American investments
Investments of several billion dollars are all considered efforts to align with the push of President Trump for local manufacturing in the middle of increasing rates. The move or expansion in America is also the direct result of the high prices imposed on certain other nations – Lenovo has already confirmed plans to build a PC and a server factory in Saudi Arabia, with its 10% tariffs acting as an attraction on the rate of 245% of the United States on China.
The $ 30 billion Fund of IBM for quantum IT is remarkable, the technology attracting attention after recent breakthroughs such as the new Google chip, which led the company to target marketing in the next five years – much more optimistic than expectations of 20 years of Nvidia for the practical applications of Quantum.
Last week, in its report on results, IBM noted a 2% drop in consultation income. The company confirmed that it had lost 15 government contracts as part of the Trump administration’s cost reduction efforts, drawn by Elon Musk Doge.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said: “We focused on American jobs and manufacturing since our foundation 114 years ago, and with this investment and manufacturing commitment, we ensure that IBM remains the epicenter of the most advanced computer capacities and AI.”
