“The Smart Cities – Smart Futures competition aims to inspire exciting ideas that harness technology to enhance quality of life and contribute to Wisconsin’s vibrant and sustainable development. The initiative is also part of Foxconn’s commitment to nurture and enable talent to tap the immense opportunities for innovation in Wisconn Valley.”

Individuals and teams are encouraged to develop proposals to improve and enhance living and working environments, promote attractive streetscapes, transportation networks and living spaces, and increase sustainability.
