Priorities listed include collaboration with regulators, supporting clients' compliance, and continued investment in resilience and security.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announced an intent to collaborate to build a network of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers, targeting initial demonstrations by the early 2030s and a proof-of-concept within five years.
The companies plan to link multiple QPUs via a quantum networking unit (QNU), explore microwave-optical transducers, and develop a hardware and software stack to distribute entanglement, synchronize operations with sub-nanosecond precision, and enable computations across tens-to-hundreds of thousands of qubits and potentially trillions of quantum gates.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and University of Dayton announced a joint research collaboration to develop next-generation semiconductor technologies for the AI era, covering AI hardware, advanced packaging, and photonics.
IBM will contribute state-of-the-art semiconductor equipment valued at over $10M to fund a new on-campus semiconductor nanofabrication facility, planned for completion in early 2027. The facility will provide hands-on, lab-to-fab training and pair University of Dayton faculty with IBM technical leaders to advance research and workforce development.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and UFC launched In-Fight Insights, an AI-driven live alert platform built with IBM watsonx that identifies real-time milestones, streaks and records during UFC events.
The capability taps >13.2 million UFC data points from 20+ years and more than 2,400 athletes, and will debut at UFC 322: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev at Madison Square Garden on November 15, 2025. In-Fight Insights is the first live in-fight integration since the IBM‑UFC partnership began and extends the UFC Insights Engine into live broadcasts, pre-event programming, social channels and in-venue activations.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) released a global study (Nov 13, 2025) of 1,700 CDOs showing a large gap between AI ambition and data readiness.
Key findings: 81% prioritize investments that accelerate AI; 78% cite leveraging proprietary data as a top strategic objective; only 26% are confident data can support new AI-enabled revenue; 47% say advanced data talent is a top challenge (up from 32% in 2023).
The study reports progress integrating data strategy with tech roadmaps (81% vs 52% in 2023) but highlights barriers—accessibility, completeness, integrity, accuracy, and consistency—that limit AI scale.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled new quantum processors, software, and fabrication milestones on Nov 12, 2025, advancing its timeline for quantum advantage by end of 2026 and fault-tolerant computing by 2029. Key hardware: IBM Quantum Nighthawk (120 qubits, 218 next-gen tunable couplers) targeting circuits with 30% more complexity and support for up to 5,000 two-qubit gates initially with plans to reach 7,500 (2026), 10,000 (2027) and 15,000 gates (2028) on larger systems. Software: Qiskit updates claim a 24% accuracy lift for dynamic circuits and >100x lower cost for HPC-powered error mitigation. IBM also announced Quantum Loon, demonstration of fault-tolerant components and qLDPC decoding <480 ns, completed one year ahead of schedule, and a move to 300mm wafer fabrication that doubled R&D speed and boosted chip physical complexity 10x.
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Web Summit launched the Sports Tech Startup Challenge, a 12-month global competition to find AI-driven sports solutions with regional events in Qatar, Vancouver, and Rio and a global finale at Web Summit Lisbon 2026.
