ICYMI: Part 2 of our series on American Manufacturing is out now on iqt.org! Authored by Dr. Megan Anderson, this series dives into the importance of American manufacturing to maintaining both supply chain security and economic prosperity. This is a sector that IQT has long seen the importance of; thus, hardware deals that require manufacturing capacity have represented around half our total number of investments — about double the average of the VC industry as a whole. Check out Part 2 to learn about some of the key advanced manufacturing domains IQT is closely tracking: https://lnkd.in/ehKZSJj6 And if you missed Part 1 back in May, you can easily access it by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/ebKCDb-J.

Cellular networks are the original, and most well-known, domain in the Great Power competition over communications infrastructure. Concerned by the rapid growth of China’s Huawei, the U.S. and allies embraced a nascent industry movement to “open up” a key element of the cellular system called the radio access network (RAN), potentially allowing a broader set of companies to compete in a market that had consolidated into a few behemoths. IQT recently convened a group of industry and government experts to assess the promise and progress of Open RAN: What objectives did governments initially envision in endorsing it? What commercial and technical obstacles does it continue to face? And where appropriate, how can investments and other levers return the U.S. and its allies to leadership in future wireless generations? Read here for more: https://lnkd.in/gjagrP8J #6G

Today, we're proud to highlight another exciting IQT 25 for 25 company! Palantir Technologies has become a household name, but it wasn't quite so well-known back in 2005 when IQT first invested. Palantir's data analysis software grew out of technology developed at PayPal for detecting online fraud using human analysts to augment intelligently collected data. Since its inception, co-founder Peter Thiel has advocated for the intelligence community mission, intending to apply PayPal's fraud recognition systems to reduce terrorism. #IQTat25

💡Exciting developments at the intersection of AI and biotechnology! 🌱 President Biden's Executive Order has sparked crucial conversations about the safe and secure use of artificial intelligence in biotech. Check out this insightful report summarizing an IQT Roundtable discussion on the impact of AI on U.S. biotech companies and the bioeconomy. Key questions addressed in the discussion: 1️⃣ Is the convergence of AI and biology a top national security threat? 2️⃣ Will the proposed screening measures effectively reduce biosecurity risks? 3️⃣ Are the costs of these measures commensurate with the potential risks and harms? 4️⃣ What secondary consequences might arise, like impacts on U.S. innovation or the bioeconomy? Answers to these questions and more can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e4xJfa7q #biotechnology #AI
