Foxconn, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer, will hold a seminar in Japan on April 9 to outline its EV strategy.

The seminar aims to provide Japanese automakers and suppliers with insights into Foxconn’s EV plans. Jun Seki, Foxconn’s chief EV strategy officer and a former Nissan executive, is expected to speak. Foxconn has not commented on the event.

This seminar follows Foxconn’s recent agreement with Mitsubishi Motors to produce EVs for sale in Oceania, including Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan.

This marks Foxconn’s first outsourcing deal with a Japanese automaker. It suggests a possible shift in Japan’s automotive industry amid growing competition from Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD.
