Illumina is an American company founded in 1998 whose sequencing machines drove the cost of reading a human genome from hundreds of millions of dollars to a few hundred, and it holds the dominant share of the market it largely created. Its business is a classic instruments and consumables model: sequencers are sold once and then consume proprietary reagent kits for years, which is where most of the profit sits. Headquartered in San Diego and listed on Nasdaq, it spent years entangled in the forced divestiture of the cancer test maker Grail and now faces genuine competition from Chinese and startup sequencing platforms for the first time.

Shield AI is an American defence technology company founded in 2015 that builds autonomy software and uncrewed aircraft for military missions. Its Hivemind autonomy stack lets aircraft fly, navigate and complete objectives without GPS, a remote pilot or a communications link, which matters in contested environments where those links are jammed. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the company fields the V-BAT vertical take-off aircraft with United States and allied forces, licenses Hivemind to other manufacturers and is developing the X-BAT jet for high-end missions.
