Germany and Intel Corp. sealed an agreement for the US company to receive an enlarged subsidy package worth about €10 billion ($10.9 billion) for a semiconductor facility in the former communist east, according to people familiar with the deal.
Intel confirmed the accord Monday without providing a specific amount for the financial aid. It said it plans to invest around €30 billion in the “leading-edge wafer fabrication site” in Magdeburg, which Chancellor Olaf Scholz said represents “the single largest foreign direct investment in German history.”
