The University of Wisconsin says it has received
just $700,000 of the $100 million that
Foxconn Technology Group pledged to fund
engineering and innovation research on the
school’s flagship campus.
Progress has been slow since the world’s leading
electronics manufacturer made the promise in
August 2018, according to a Wisconsin State
Journal report Tuesday.
University of Wisconsin-Madison spokesman
John Lucas said there has been “no significant
progress in discussions” on the investment that
was touted at the time as the largest research
partnership in the university’s history.
