Will UW's partnership with Foxconn succeed?
As students prepared to return to school last August, UW-Madison announced it had formed a partnership with Foxconn Technology Group. The partnership included a variety of components, namely a $100 million investment from the company that will establish a new engineering facility, and plenty of internship opportunities for students. This substantial agreement came less than a year after the state agreed to a $3.2 billion incentive package to bring the Taiwanese company into Wisconsin.
