Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology Group expects robust growth over the next three years in its artificial intelligence (AI), information technology and electric vehicle (EV) businesses, as the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer expands partnerships with Japanese carmakers ahead of potential governance changes.

At the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Thursday, chairman Young Liu outlined the three pillars driving expansion for the Apple supplier, which assembles most of the world’s iPhones.

The information and communication technology business would maintain steady performance while AI demand in edge computing and server applications created significant momentum, Liu said.

The EV segment represents the biggest growth opportunity as product launches advance and Foxconn’s customer base expands. Beyond an existing partnership with Mitsubishi Motors, negotiations with a second Japanese carmaker are nearing completion with an announcement expected soon, according to Liu.
