AI-driven solutions intended to modernize supply chains by lowering costs and increasing access to sustainable infrastructure will be powered by IBM technology.
As part of the new 2025 cohort, five firms have been chosen to join the IBM Impact Accelerator program, which aims to modernize and enhance global supply chains by utilizing automation and artificial intelligence.
Only 3% of supply chain executives asked said their supply chains were primarily autonomous in 2024, even though 35% of them anticipated achieving autonomy by 2030.
By assisting this new group of mission-driven organizations in modernizing their infrastructure, energy, and logistics systems, the IBM Impact Accelerator program seeks to bridge that digital divide while promoting more robust and sustainable results.
The IBM Impact Accelerator is a social innovation program that was introduced in 2022. It provides grants of IBM resources, such as hybrid cloud, AI technology, and an ecosystem of specialists, to improve and scale government and nonprofit organization activities, increasing economic impact.
Five new projects are chosen annually by the program to join a cohort that focuses on topics like resilient cities, water management, and sustainable agriculture.
IBM pledged in 2024 to donate up to USD 45 million in cash and in-kind technology and services over a five-year period to the IBM Impact Accelerator, which would assist communities worldwide that face economic and environmental challenges.
