On Saturday 10 November 2018, the new Energy Laboratory was inaugurated at ITIS E. Fermi in Bassano del Grappa, named after Giuseppe Bordignon, former teacher at the institute, in parallel with his entrepreneurial activity. The ceremony took place in a friendly and informal atmosphere, in the presence of the school authorities, many former colleagues of Prof. Bordignon, his family and a large number of final year students. As Diego Bordignon, also a former Fermi student and the Dean Prof. Zen recalled, it was an opportunity to remember a man who was able to transmit fundamental values to the school and his companies and the demonstration of a concrete synergy between educational institutions and local entrepreneurs, aimed at investing in the present to build the future.
