Foxconn Technology Group on Thursday received the Golden Shovel Award from the National Association of Minority Contractors Wisconsin Chapter and Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

The award, according to a news release from Foxconn, “recognized Foxconn’s ongoing commitment to engage a diverse range of local businesses as part of its inclusive, Wisconsin-first approach.”

Foxconn stated that 16 percent of the companies working on its Wisconsin campus construction project are considered disadvantaged business enterprises.

“We are proud to count many disadvantaged business enterprises as members of the Foxconn family,” said Louis Woo, special assistant to Foxconn founder and CEO Terry Gou.

“Providing opportunities to disadvantaged business enterprises is an important part of our commitment to the state,” Woo said.

“As we make further progress on the construction of the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park campus, we will continue to expand our support of local businesses of all kinds in line with our Wisconsin-first approach.”
