"🎉 Reflecting on an Incredible Year: GDSFactory's 2024 Milestones 🎉"

[Joaquin Matres Abril]

Happy New Year!

This year has been a remarkable one for us:

• GDSFactory surpassed 2 million downloads, with widespread adoption at leading institutions such as MIT, Princeton, and Georgia Tech, as well as many other universities across the U.S.
• We significantly enhanced our Lumerical and Tidy3D interfaces, providing more seamless and powerful tools for users.
• We completed 25 PDKs for different foundries, broadening compatibility and expanding design capabilities.
• We launched GDSFactory+, a user-friendly GUI that integrates circuit simulations, design verification (DRC, LVS), and other advanced features.

Thank you for your support and collaboration. Here's to another year of growth and innovation!
