Foxconn Technology Group has launched the second year of an initiative in which Wisconsin’s public and private universities compete to come up with the best ideas for developing “smart” cities and systems in the state.
The “Smart Cities-Smart Futures” contest, a three-year competition that Foxconn said awards up to $1 million in cash and technical support to Wisconsin students, faculty and staff, last year drew 325 submissions representing 24 universities and colleges across Wisconsin, resulting in 12 final round winners.
Foxconn, which is building a manufacturing complex in Racine County, has said it wants to encourage efforts — smart cities, self-driving vehicles — that hold potential for using products the plant will produce here.
