Cloud: Cloud can empower you to embrace change and propel progress. IBM Cloud is a robust suite of advanced data and AI tools, and deep industry expertise to help you on your journey to cloud.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI is now in our living rooms, cars, and often our pockets. IBM has been exploring artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and techniques for decades.

Internet of Things (IoT): As almost everything from cars to crops to conveyor belts becomes connected, IoT is changing the way businesses operate. The IoT is now a reality due to the convergence of several technologies.

Blockchain: What if we could track and authenticate a product or a transaction at each stage of their journey? Blockchain enables businesses to rethink the way they work.

Cybersecurity: No one is immune to cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity has become overly complex and we want to make it simple. It isn’t just about hackers and defenses. It’s about people and the way security impacts their daily lives.

Quantum Computing: Quantum computers could spur the development of new breakthroughs in science, medications to save lives, machine learning methods to diagnose illnesses sooner, and algorithms to quickly direct resources such as ambulances.

Coding: Web applications have become the main source of income and entertainment for most people and the means to solve world problems. If you are completely new to coding or have some background coding experience, you might be wondering where to start learning web application development.

Data science and Analytics: While data science and AI are relatively new in the market, the concept of extracting value from data has been around for a while. Data Science is the discipline of acquiring data, finding insights, and sharing discoveries in all this data.
