Huawei And Optica Foundation Forced To Cut Ties Due To The Discovery Of Their Involvement, Washington-Based Non-Profit Said It Will Return All Funds
For two years, Huawei had been funding U.S. research and awarded scientists millions in prize money. All of the funneling was handled by Optica Foundation, with its CEO Elizabeth Rogan, who previously stated that there was nothing unusual about this practice. U.S. lawmakers later criticized the organization, believing Optica Foundation had compromised the ability of U.S. research institutions to comply with the law. A ton of events likely happened under our noses because the partnership between the two companies has now ended.
