The gift will be used to educate and expand Wisconsin’s talent pipeline for Industry 4.0 manufacturing, which allows small and medium manufacturers to integrate new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, into their production process. This is the second major gift from Microsoft to CSI; the company gave $1.5 million in 2019.
