About

AbCellera Biologics was founded in 2012 in Vancouver, Canada by Carl Hansen, growing out of research at the University of British Columbia. The company built a high-throughput antibody discovery platform integrating microfluidics, genomics, single-cell sequencing, and AI/ML to rapidly identify therapeutic antibody candidates from natural immune responses. AbCellera played a prominent role in the COVID-19 pandemic by discovering bamlanivimab for Eli Lilly in under 90 days.\n\nAbCellera's partnership model operates on a discovery fee plus downstream milestone and royalty structure, having started over 104 partner-initiated programs with downstream participation as of December 2025. Partners include major pharmaceutical companies and biotechs; the company expanded its collaboration with AbbVie in 2025 to develop T-cell engagers for oncology. Total FY2025 revenue was $75 million ($47M from royalties/licensing, $27M from partnered program work), compared to $29 million in 2024—a dramatic increase driven by royalty flows from approved medicines.\n\nIn 2025 AbCellera began transitioning from pure partnership model toward wholly owned therapeutic assets, with ABCL635 (a GnRH receptor antibody for vasomotor symptoms) entering Phase 1. The company maintains approximately $700 million in liquidity, providing a long runway. AbCellera is considered a foundational infrastructure provider for the antibody-based drug discovery ecosystem.

About

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
