Microsoft has announced plans to build a $3.3 billion USD high-tech data center facility in Wisconsin, where Taiwan electronics manufacturer Foxconn had planned to build a $10 billion USD factory but scaled back on its plans.
This investment deal will create 2,300 construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs over time. Microsoft will also partner with Gateway Technical College to train 1,000 people for the data center and other roles by 2030 and will work to train 1,000 business leaders to adopt AI in their operations.
Last week, Incognito blog announced a $2.2 billion USD investment in cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure in Malaysia.
