As the holiday season approaches and thoughts turn to plans fo 2025, we're taking a moment to reflect on a year filled with milestoes, collabortions, and lightbulb moments.
Inspired by the timeless tradition of the ‘12 Days of Christmas,’ we’re marking this festive season with our very own ‘12 Months of Innovation.’ It’s a chance to celebrate the highlights of 2024 – a year of growth, progress, and new opportunities – as we wrap up and look forward to what’s next!
