What does "to thirty-four today" mean?
This is an excerpt from a book called Newsweek:
"'San Sebastian is a city that has innovation embedded in its DNS,' declares Euken Sese, the General Manager of Fomento de San Sebastian. 'We have grown and developed around tourism. Since 2000, we have gone from having four technological centres dedicated to applied research to thirty-four today. Out GDP growth is 2.7%, higher than the European average. The trigger that been the attractiveness of the city and this should be our path for the future.'"
I'm wondering how can I understand the sentence that includes "to thirty-four today."
Could you tell me, please?
