Progress has been slow since the world’s leading electronics manufacturer made the promise in August 2018, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report Tuesday.

University of Wisconsin-Madison spokesman John Lucas said there has been “no significant progress in discussions” on the investment that was touted at the time as the largest research partnership in the university’s history.
