TAO highlights the evolution of electrical engineering through an educational exhibition

With its temporary exhibition “The history of electrical engineering from 1940 to the present day”, Technord Âge d’Or (TAO ) – the association of former Technord employees – invites the public to discover the technical history that has shaped our industry.

An exhibition designed by enthusiasts

Entirely imagined, designed and organized by TAO volunteers, this exhibition highlights several decades of technical innovation.

Its objective is clear: to illustrate in concrete terms the evolution of the tools, equipment and technologies that have marked electrical engineering over the years.

Through the pieces on display, visitors discover how trades and practices have evolved, gradually shaping the industrial environment we know today.

An accessible and educational experience

Open to all, this exhibition is designed to be accessible, immersive and enriching. It is aimed at the curious, the passionate and the professional, as well as at schools wishing to enrich their educational programs.

In particular, it allows you to :

  • discover the technical functions still in use at Technord
  • gain a better understanding of developments in the industrial sector
  • encourage vocations in technical and scientific professions

To enhance the experience :

  • an explanatory booklet accompanies the tour
  • audio content accessible via QR Code provides details on the equipment on display

A modern approach that facilitates understanding while enhancing immersion.

A strong link with the world of education

Through this initiative, TAO and Technord are reaffirming their commitment to strengthening ties with the educational world, particularly in Picardy Wallonia and Northern France.

The aim is to build bridges between training and industry, and inspire the talent of tomorrow.

Practical information

Guided tours are available by appointment until the end of November 2026.

It’s a unique opportunity to retrace the steps of innovation and (re)discover the foundations of a constantly evolving sector.
