IBM’s roots trace back to Herman Hollerith’s 1896 invention of the tabulating machine, revolutionizing data processing for the 1890 US Census. In 1911, IBM was founded as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, later renamed IBM in 1924. Key innovations followed, such as the 1928 introduction of the 80-column punched card, which became a global data standard.

IBM continues to push the boundaries of AI, quantum computing and sustainability. As a leader in ethical AI, IBM shapes transparent systems to address global challenges, from healthcare to environmental sustainability. The company also aims to drive innovation through partnerships in space technology, cloud computing and data-driven industries.
