[Scilab-users] Acquisition of Scilab Enterprises by ESI Group

[Clément David]

Dear Scilab users,

After 5 years of Scilab versions made by Scilab Enterprises, the operational team is very proud to
share with you that ESI Group has acquired the company.  Looking back to the history of Scilab [1],
the operational team behind the software has been backed by various structures (publicly funded or
private) and this is a new page for the software to be backed by a large and already-established
company.

ESI Group [2][3] is a pioneer and world-leading provider in Virtual Prototyping, leveraging the
physics of materials. The team, now part of ESI Group, remains committed to a free and open source
Scilab software for numerical computation. With the experience of OpenFOAM [4], ESI Group has
already demonstrated its commitment to open-source software for engineers and scientists.

More details at [5] (Press Release).

We look forward to great years ahead.
