Foxconn announced in late August a $100 million matching grant to UW-Madison that will help fund an interdisciplinary research facility for students and faculty to collaborate closely with the company’s Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park near Racine. The agreement spells out that a Foxconn-sponsored building will be located on the campus’ engineering quad and a facility located close to campus will be owned by Foxconn. UW-Madison spokeswoman Meredith McGlone said the university is unaware of Foxconn’s off-campus location.
