About

Axiom Space is a commercial space company founded in 2016 by former NASA ISS program manager Michael Suffredini, with a mission to build and operate the world's first private space station. The company is executing a phased strategy that begins with attaching commercial modules to the International Space Station before the ISS is retired, then operating as a standalone commercial station in orbit. Axiom has already launched private astronaut missions to the ISS, generating revenue from space tourism and research while building toward its permanent station. The company raised over $350M and has contracts with NASA, ESA, and commercial customers for astronaut training, microgravity research, and manufacturing capabilities in space. Axiom Space is also developing next-generation spacesuits for NASA's Artemis Moon program. As the ISS approaches its planned decommissioning in 2030, Axiom is positioned to be the primary successor commercial platform for scientific research, manufacturing of materials impossible to produce on Earth, and private human spaceflight.

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).
