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.
