Ducati hosts the president of the Emilia Romagna region in Borgo Panigale

Ducati – Ducati Motor Holding received the official visit of the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region Stefano Bonaccini. Welcomed by the Ducati CEO, Claudio Domenicali, President Bonaccini was able to visit the Museum, the Borgo Panigale production plant, the DESI training center and the "Motorcycle Physics" laboratory. The tour then concluded with a special and exclusive visit to the Ducati racing department, where the Desmosedici GP15s have just returned, fresh from the successes achieved during the recent Italian GP, ​​which took place last Sunday at Mugello.

Ducati was the first of the new president's official visits Stefano Bonaccini in the Motor Valley, less than a year after his election as leader of Emilia-Romagna. His visit underlines the excellent relationship of Ducati with the Regional Authority, already its valid interlocutor in the social project Desi (Dual Education System Italy), launched in September 2014. which offered 48 students from two technical institutes in Bologna the opportunity to obtain a diploma and achieve excellent technical preparation directly in the Ducati and Lamborghini factories.

"Global competition will be increasingly based on the ability of a territory to attract businesses, human capital and innovative projects with high added value." he said Bonaccini. “If Emilia-Romagna can play a leading role in this competition, the result of the structural change in the economy and the market that is characterizing the new century, it is also thanks to companies like Ducati. The Audi group's investment in our territory places great attention on the most strategic resource: people and the quality of their skills. For this reason, after the signing of the agreement for the Sant'Agata investment, I thank Audi's other Bolognese jewel. A factory that becomes a school, as happens in the Desi project, I believe is a great example for the economic-productive system of the area, as well as for other multinationals. Added value of "made in Italy", industrial history, quality of the productive fabric, teamwork between local and national institutions, good trade union relations, qualified educational and research infrastructures: this is what Emilia-Romagna can offer to the world to generate new employment here and strengthen the competitiveness of our entire system".
