FIRST Welcomes New Members and Thanks Sponsoring Teams!

FIRST has welcomed 35 new members over the last 3 months of 2024: 15 Liaisons and 20 Teams.

This makes 2024 a record breaking year with 48 new Liaisons and 86 Teams, the best ever since FIRST was launched. For teams, this represents a 12% YoY increase from 2023 (72 Teams). 2024 is also the 3rd in a row that the number of Teams successful applications is at its highest.

Warm welcome to all of them, and a huge Thank You to all Sponsors who committed to doing the on-site or virtual site visits, supported applications, and provided recommendations.
