Waters Corporation

Agilent Technologies designs and manufactures analytical, research, and diagnostic instruments, software, services, and consumables for scientists working across life sciences, diagnostics, and applied markets. Spun out from Hewlett-Packard in 1999 and drawing on a heritage dating to 1939, the company now employs around 18,000 people and supports researchers in 110 countries. Its product portfolio spans the full range of laboratory needs: precision analytical and diagnostic instruments, laboratory software to support scientific workflows, consumables, and installation and support services. These tools are developed in-house and used across a broad set of applications, including life science research, clinical and patient diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, food and water safety testing, and environmental monitoring. Agilent's customers include research laboratories, clinical settings, pharmaceutical companies, and businesses operating in regulated industries. The company measures its work by the quality of results its customers achieve - whether that means accelerating a drug discovery programme, ensuring food safety, or supporting environmental compliance.

We're a global team of about 10,000 people united by a straightforward mission: helping the world sustainably move, improve, and enjoy water. From our start in 1966 as a small Minnesota operation, we've grown into a company that serves customers in more than 150 countries - but we've never lost sight of what matters. Water isn't just our business; it's life's most essential resource, and we take seriously our responsibility to make it more accessible, safer, and smarter for everyone who relies on it. What we actually do day-to-day spans a pretty wide range, but it all connects back to water. We design and build the equipment that keeps swimming pools clean and energy-efficient, the filtration systems that make water safe to drink, the pumps that move water where it needs to go, and the industrial solutions that help businesses use water more responsibly. Whether it's a homeowner trying to keep their pool crystal clear, a farmer needing reliable irrigation, or a municipal water system serving thousands of people, we're the ones behind the scenes making it work. We operate about 130 locations across 34 countries, which means we're local enough to understand specific water challenges but big enough to deliver solutions at scale.

We're on a mission to make business better with AI. Since our founding in 2012, DataRobot has been working to help organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real-world problems. Headquartered in Boston with a global team, we've spent over a decade learning from our customers and evolving our platform to meet the changing needs of enterprises worldwide. We believe AI should be accessible, governable, and impactful - not just a buzzword or an endless pilot project that never makes it to production. Our platform delivers predictive and generative AI capabilities that integrate directly into core business processes. We help teams build, deploy, and govern AI at scale, with the controls and observability needed to minimize risk while maximizing business impact. From agentic AI applications to machine learning models that drive critical decisions, we're focused on practical outcomes. We work across industries - financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, government, and more - because we've seen that the challenges of implementing AI are often similar even when the use cases differ. Our goal is to be the AI partner that helps organizations move from experimentation to production, with confidence.
