2,000 gamers came to the Lindner Innovation Center
The FarmCon organised by Swiss games manufacturer Giants Software stopped off in Kundl for two days this year. Fans of the farming simulator - one of the best-selling computer games in the world - learnt about the latest game developments and got behind the wheel of the Lintrac and Unitrac themselves.
Farmcon 2025
FarmCon is the summit event for the farming simulator, in which players take on the role of a modern farmer. They cultivate fields, plant crops, breed animals and use realistic agricultural machinery to run their own farm and achieve economic success. At FarmCon, game fans from all over the world will gain exclusive insights into the latest developments in the computer game from Swiss game developer Giants and will be able to talk directly to the developers.
‘We are delighted that we were able to welcome FarmCon to Tyrol for the first time this year and that around 2,000 fans turned the Lindner Innovation Centre into an absolute gaming hub,’ says Managing Director David Lindner, drawing a very positive balance of the two-day event. ‘Our test site was particularly well received, where participants experienced a real driving experience behind the wheel of the Lintrac and Unitrac.’ In addition, hundreds of interested visitors took the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of tractor and transporter production at the Tyrolean family business during the factory tours.
