A first-person visit to Topcon’s Concordia Training Center near Modena, Italy, reveals a purpose-built center of excellence where place, precision and trust come together.
Near Modena, in northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, it is impossible to separate technology from place. This is Italy’s high-performance automotive heartland, home to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Bugatti and Pagani — some of the world’s most admired performance machines. It is also a region of agriculture, vineyards and precision manufacturing. The landscape itself seems to insist that technology should not be abstract. It should be physical, engineered, tested, refined and enjoyed.
That was my first impression arriving at Topcon’s Concordia Training Center. I expected a technology campus. I found something more layered: a purpose-built center of excellence that reflects its region, its mission and its company.
