There are sectors that have always played a
cutting-edge role in many technological
innovations which, when used for other functions,
end up pervading industrial production for mass
consumption. This is the case for research in the
field of defense of military origin, from which not
only the internet was born, but a myriad of
everyday objects, from the iconic
Harley-Davidsons to smart watches. Physical and
aerospace research also continue, with their
repercussions, to shape our everyday lives: just
think of avionics, navigation and communication
systems that each of us uses extensively. This
complex and hyper-specialised world is the world
of Elco, which has always been a partner of the
most demanding industry.
