Foxconn Invests Nearly NT$300 Million in SPAC Linked to Agility Robotics

Foxconn Group invested US$9 million in Churchill Capital Corp XI, a SPAC merging with Agility Robotics.

What happened

On July 15, 2026, Foxconn announced its subsidiary Foxconn Venture Capital acquired 900,000 shares of Churchill Capital Corp XI at US$10 per share, totaling US$9 million, as reported by BigGo Finance. The investment is intended as a long-term holding and is part of a PIPE financing led by Foxconn for Agility Robotics' SPAC merger.

Why it matters

For companies considering automation at distribution centers and warehouses, the announcement confirms a framework under which Agility Robotics will raise about $620 million in connection with its listing, with Foxconn Group leading a private placement of about $200 million of that amount. The robot at the center of the deal, Digit, is a bipedal robot that transports, sorts and stacks boxes. Foxconn intends to hold its $9 million investment long term, making the move part of its deeper involvement in the warehouse humanoid robot business.
