Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) chairman Terry Gou (郭台銘) yesterday
mapped out the company’s corporate transformation plan, with an initial focus on developing industrial Internet-focused technologies and then growing Internet-based “smart” healthcare and security solutions.
“The public continues to see Hon Hai as a contract electronics maker… We are transforming from a traditional hardware manufacturing firm into a company that provides platforms and solutions,” Gou told a provisional shareholders’ meeting at the company’s headquarters in New Taipei City’s Tucheng District (土城).
