Unlocking the unknown

Who Leads in Innovation: IBM or Autodesk?

In the ever-evolving tech landscape, innovation is the key to staying ahead. Over the past decade, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) and Autodesk, Inc. have been at the forefront of technological advancements. From 2014 to 2023, IBM consistently invested more in research and development (R&D) than Autodesk, with IBM's R&D expenses peaking at approximately $6.8 billion in 2023, a 25% increase from 2014. In contrast, Autodesk's R&D spending grew by 125% over the same period, reaching around $1.2 billion in 2023. This significant growth highlights Autodesk's commitment to innovation, despite its smaller scale compared to IBM. However, the data for 2024 shows a missing value for IBM, indicating a potential shift or gap in their R&D strategy. As the tech industry continues to evolve, these investments will play a crucial role in shaping the future of both companies.
