Hon Hai Technology Group, the world's largest electronics manufacturing service provider, has been honored as winner of investor relations excellence in three major categories – Best In Sector, Best IR Officer, and Best Use Of Technology Including AI – in 2024 awards by IR Magazine, the globally recognized, definitive, independent voice in investor relations.
In the nominations for the Greater China region, Foxconn was a finalist in two other categories: Best Overall Investor Relations and Best ESG Reporting. Among 16 Taiwanese companies nominated this year, Foxconn received the most nominations and was the only company from Taiwan to take home awards, winning for the fourth consecutive year.
"This is a tremendous achievement and such an honor to be measured against major Taiwanese technology peers for Best In Sector. Foxconn's approach to IR is about being passionate and innovative in showing investors and stakeholders how we are innovating for the good," said Foxconn Vice President and Spokesperson James Wu. "Our greatest asset is our people. We are so proud of the IR team and colleagues who make this win possible."
Foxconn Senior IR Manager, Kristen Fang, took top spot in the category for Best IR Officer, marking her second international IR award this year and a nod to her exceptional engagement skills, responsiveness, and efficiency that has earned widespread recognition and appreciation from the investor community.
In its winning nomination in the new category for 2024 for Best Use Of Technology Including AI, Foxconn highlighted two of its major proprietary systems – a Red Dot Design award-winning platform that tracks Foxconn's green goals on a company-wide basis to align with UN SDGs and another platform embedded with AI tools to enhance intelligent analysis for supporting operational decision making.
During the awards ceremony, Foxconn was invited to speak on the theme of "WeChat & websites: Best practices in digital investor relations", where the company shared its experiences in leveraging online platforms. Foxconn is committed to leading best practice approach for the IR industry and maximizing value for the company and its investors.

Designing Without a Rulebook: When Engineering Becomes Innovation
05/05/2026 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWhat if the very rules that made you successful as a PCB designer are the ones now holding you back? This reminds me of walking the floor and attending sessions at both PCB West 2025 and APEX EXPO 2026, where one common theme stood out: More designs with traditional PCB “best practices” simply don’t apply. It’s not because they’re wrong, but because the problems we’re solving have fundamentally changed. In some cases, those best practices can actually limit performance. This is where PCB design moves beyond optimization and into something far more challenging: designing without a rulebook.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Managing and Start Teaching
02/23/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseSomehow, businesses have forgotten what leadership was about. We’ve replaced mentorship with metrics, traded coaching for control, and begun referring to people as “resources,” as if they were parts on a shelf instead of people capable of learning, growing, and expanding their impact.
Standard of Excellence: Building the Board of the Future—Materials, Methods, and Mindset
02/18/2026 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceThe future of PCB manufacturing is here. The products we’re being asked to build today would have been called “advanced” just a few years ago. What was once special is now standard, and what was once impossible is now expected. The challenge and the opportunity lie in leading the charge to the next frontier of printed circuit board design, materials, and manufacturing discipline. To build the board of the future, we need new materials, smarter methods, and a mindset of innovation anchored in flawless execution.
It’s Only Common Sense: Are Your Favorite Customers Holding You Back?
12/22/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseSome of your best customers are your worst problems. You know the ones I’m talking about, those who have been with you forever, supported you from the beginning, know how you work, and, if you’re honest, treat you like an employee instead of a partner. They call you at all hours, squeeze every nickel, demand miracles, and then act like you owe them for the privilege of their business.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding Your Fabricator’s Capabilities (or Niche)
10/08/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsNot every PCB fabricator is a good fit for every design. This is something many seasoned OEMs and greenhorn designers learn the hard way. The industry is full of talented board shops: global giants, regional specialists, niche fabricators, and everything in between. But even the best shop can fail a job if it's not the right fit for that specific board, volume, or customer requirement.
