Intel Corp. is set to receive almost $11 billion in subsidies from the German government for a chip manufacturing complex in the eastern part of the country, according to people familiar with the matter.
The company postponed the start of construction at the plant — which it had previously agreed to build in Magdeburg with €6.8 billion ($7.2 billion) in government aid — at the end of last year because of economic headwinds and had been asking for more funds, people with knowledge of the situation said. Germany has now expressed a willingness to grant roughly €10 billion as part of negotiations, people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
