On November 24, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order initiating the Genesis Mission, a significant government project aimed at enhancing U.S. capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI) and several strategic industries. This initiative designates six critical sectors: biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear energy, quantum information science, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing. The mission seeks to centralize scientific data and compress 10 years of research into just 10 months.
The U.S. government has already begun backing companies in these sectors, including a 10% equity stake in Intel Corp. and 15% in MP Materials Corp., among others. Following these investments, stocks in these companies have surged significantly, with MP Materials experiencing a nearly 230% increase. The executive order outlines a timeline for milestones, including the identification of challenges and resources within the next year, ultimately aiming for initial operations by August 21, 2026.
As part of the Genesis Mission, the government aims to strategically direct trillions of dollars in investment by leveraging grants, contracts, and equity stakes in select companies within these targeted industries, signaling profound shifts in U.S. market dynamics.
