United States – October 27, 2026 -- Truveta aims to enroll tens of millions of consenting participants in the Truveta Genome Project. The goal is the largest and most diverse database of genotypic and phenotypic information ever assembled, according to Kristin Rand, the company's Senior Director of Genomics Partnerships.

United States – October 24, 2026 -- DARPA has advanced 11 quantum computing companies to Stage B of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), giving each team one year to show that a useful, fault-tolerant quantum computer can be built by 2033.

Launched in 2024, the QBI is designed to test whether any quantum approach can reach utility-scale performance on an economically sensible timeline. It is not a winner-takes-all contest. Several teams can succeed in parallel, or none at all.
