Mount Pleasant, WI – Foxconn Technology Group (Foxconn) today announced a two-day community open house that will provide residents from Racine County and the surrounding area an opportunity to see first-hand the advanced technologies that will be developed at its new Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park in Mount Pleasant.

“This two-day open house will give the public a chance to view and learn more about the latest technologies and applications that we will be developing at our Mount Pleasant campus,” said Louis Woo, Special Assistant to Foxconn Founder and CEO Terry Gou. “Part of being a good corporate citizen is engaging with the community, and we look forward to welcoming them to our facility, and meeting and talking with residents in and around the area.”

Foxconn will be showcasing cutting-edge applications of the advanced display technology that it will be developing at the Wisconsin campus. These include applications in a wide range of devices and solutions, from the latest generation of displays in self-driving cars and aircraft systems to learning systems, personalized entertainment, healthcare and medical solutions, advanced manufacturing systems, and applications in interactive retail and safety.

Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park will be home to the first and only TFT fabrication facility in America, and Foxconn’s showcase at the open house will also include some of the advanced technologies in semiconductor panel level processing on glass that the company will be developing and producing at its TFT facility in Wisconsin.  These technologies will be applied to next-generation products and solutions such as panel level processing, biochips, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), among others.

In addition, an experimental production line for the training and development of employees will also be on display, as well as beta testing of assembly and manufacturing systems that will be used in future Foxconn operations. The demonstrations and exhibits will be the same ones that will be on display for President Trump’s visit to the Opus facility that will take place on Thursday, June 28.
