Solace Signals the Future of Real-time Agentic AI with Introduction of Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise

New solution harnesses Solace’s market-leading real-time data platform to enable enterprises to build and orchestrate robust and reliable single and multi-agent AI applications

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AWS re:Invent 2025, Booth # 1570 — Solace, the real-time data and agentic AI company, today announced general availability (GA) of Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise, an open agentic AI platform that enables organizations to build, deploy and operate intelligent and well-governed AI-powered applications – from simple single-agent to powerful multi-agent orchestrated solutions – that interact in real-time with enterprise applications and data.

Agentic AI promises greater productivity and increased competitiveness, with a recent industry report indicating it can accelerate business processes by up to 50 percent and reduce low-value work time by up to 40 percent, thanks to autonomous decision-making and continuous learning capabilities. Getting there remains a challenge, however, as organizations struggle to move agentic AI applications from experiments into production, providing access to enterprise applications and data while ensuring security, observability, and trust.

Additionally, IDC states: “Agentic AI will require event-driven data architectures to continuously provide high-quality, relevant, and contextual data products to support the dynamic nature of agentic business activities. Supporting agentic AI at scale demands use of autonomous agents within enterprise intelligence architectures, automating data management, governance, and synthesis functions.” *

Solace Agent Mesh addresses these challenges, providing the capabilities required to create, deploy and manage agentic AI solutions in a secure, governed and scalable way. Built on a proven event-driven platform, Solace Agent Mesh fundamentally transforms how agentic AI systems serve users, respond to business events and integrate with enterprise data, offering:

  • Faster time to innovation: enterprises can rapidly innovate by integrating and orchestrating native and third-party AI agents, enabling faster experimentation, accelerated development, and quicker time-to-market
  • Improved user experience: business users can talk with their data using their preferred user interfaces, with broad access to enterprise applications and data, whether real-time or static knowledge bases
  • Greater scalability and reliability: Solace Agent Mesh uses parallel agent execution and asynchronous communication between all agents, enabling horizontal scaling to production levels while also providing a stronger level of resilience in response to system failures and implementing hot agent upgrades
  • Increased operational efficiency: Solace Agent Mesh’s unique intelligent data management helps minimize LLM costs, while significantly improving performance and accuracy
  • Comprehensive security: strong agent-based access control, SSO, action-level permissions, and user delegated access deliver the critical security, governance and compliance required for AI agent-driven solutions

“There are many challenges to overcome in relation to enabling AI agents to take automated actions and there is a case to be made for involving experts in inter-application communication,” said Matt Aslett, Director of Research, Analytics and Data, ISG Research. “Solace is well-placed to address this opportunity with Solace Agent Mesh, which provides the core capabilities required for communication between agents and will enable Solace customers and prospects to build on existing investments in microservices and EDA as they move towards agentic AI.”

The Forrester Wave™: Streaming Data Platforms, Q4 2025 notes: “Solace’s event-driven agents stand out: they help enterprises build responsive, real-time, event-driven applications and enable high-performance streaming for enterprise applications.” **

Secure, Scalable and Enterprise-grade functionality

Solace Agent Mesh was built from the ground up as an open, flexible platform designed to make it easy for enterprises to experiment with single or multi-agent systems to deliver on their agentic AI objectives, from simple uses cases to the most demanding distributed organization-wide production deployments.

Key features include:

  • No-code Agent Builder: both pro-code agent building, as well as an AI-assisted, form-based interface for creating agents without writing code
  • Dynamic Agent Orchestration: Solace Agent Mesh uses an intelligent orchestrator to break down inputs into tasks and assign them to the right agents in real time. It can also follow prescriptive workflows when it is critical to operate in specific ways
  • Connectors: out-of-the-box SQL, API, and MCP connectors provide simple and broad connectivity to enterprise applications and data, both real-time and static knowledge bases
  • Gateways: business users can use their preferred tools such as web chat, Slack or Microsoft Teams to interact with Agent Mesh, as well as set up Agentic Process Automation workflows invoked through events, enterprise application APIs and Webhook
  • Governance and Access Control: gateways serve as controlled entry points into the framework, granting access to the agent ecosystem through different interfaces like events, APIs, web chat, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Solace Agent Mesh offers single sign-on authentication as well as granular authorization and role-based access control, ensuring agents interact with applications and data with the permissions of the requesting user
  • Intelligent Data Management: innovative intelligent data management helps reduce LLM compute costs and avoids hallucinations through in-platform data operations and passing only relevant information to the LLM
  • Full Activity Observability: built-in workflow viewer and real-time observability tools enable comprehensive monitoring and tracking of LLM interactions, agent workflows, and system performance to build system trust and help debug
  • Enterprise-scale Architecture: decoupled, asynchronous orchestration of agents supports efficient parallelization of operations, enabling agentic AI projects to easily scale from Proof-of-Concept to production

“Agentic AI has completely changed the face of business, and requires revolutionary solutions to continue to fuel its unprecedented growth. Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise is the net result of a bold vision on how organizations can better harness the power of agentic AI,” said Shawn McAllister, CPO and CTO at Solace. “Organizations can quickly go from experiments to full scale enterprise production with fast development, and secure access to enterprise context, all powered with the proven robustness of an event driven architecture. Agent Mesh is designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of increasingly connected, real-time, and intelligent enterprises.”

Prospective organizations can register to join the Solace Agent Mesh pilot program. In addition to Solace Agent Mesh Enterprise, Solace offers open-source Solace Agent Mesh Community available on GitHub, providing developers with an event-driven framework for seamlessly integrating AI agents with real-world data sources and systems.

Paris Baguette Westfield is Paris Baguette’s fourth location and second franchise store in the UK, reflecting the company’s success in expanding its franchise footprint beyond the US and China to Europe. Paris Baguette’s first franchise store in Canary Wharf has experienced a steady inflow of customers since the opening in November 2024, establishing a compelling presence in the UK market. Paris Baguette Canary Wharf is now well positioned to thrive, aided by a high repeat purchase rate. Notably, the Westfield location is opened by the owner of the first Paris Baguette franchise store. The multi-unit franchise operation demonstrates Paris Baguette’s solid brand competitiveness and franchise partnership.

The Westfield store is located on the ground floor of Westfield London, a large shopping mall in the Shepherds Bush area of west London. With hundreds of global brands across luxury goods, fashion, lifestyle and home appliance categories, Westfield London is one of the biggest shopping centers in the UK, attracting 50 million visitors annually. Paris Baguette Westfield features marble countertops, metal frames in the brand’s signature blue color, and wood finish, with the modern look accentuating the refined brand image. The Westfield store serves a diverse range of products including sandwiches, pastries, and cakes that have been well received by the UK and other European markets, creating unique experiences for both local customers and international visitors.

Wayne Stevenson, the owner of Paris Baguette’s first two franchise stores in the UK, said, “I am excited to be opening in a second location, as my first Paris Baguette in Canary Wharf has made its mark in the local community since its opening last year. What I have learned is that Paris Baguette leads the field in quality and innovation. I look forward to seeing Paris Baguette becoming a household name here.”

Paris Baguette launched in the UK in 2022, with a back-to-back opening of two sites in Battersea Power Station and Kensington High Street. In mid-December this year, the bakery-café chain is scheduled to open its fifth location and third franchise store in the UK, near Portobello Market, the setting for the movie Notting Hill, kicking its franchise business into high gear.

A Paris Baguette spokesperson said, “Building on the success of the first franchise store in the UK, we are adding two more franchise stores here. We are committed to enhancing brand awareness and competitiveness in Europe, where bread is a staple food, to take the lead in shaping the global bakery market.”

Paris Baguette made its initial foray into the global market in 2004 and has opened 700 stores in 15 countries over the past two decades across the US, Canada, France, the UK, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Brunei, and Mongolia.

L&C Bio’s ‘Re2O’ Emerges as a Leading K-Medical Tour Procedure Within One Year of Launch

– Surging global demand drives rapid adoption across domestic and international medical sectors –

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — L&C Bio (KOSDAQ: 290650, Co-CEOs Hwan-Chul Lee and Jae-Ho Lee), a leading company in human tissue–based regenerative medicine, announced that its premium regenerative solution Re2O (ReCM, ECM: Extra Cellular Matrix) has rapidly emerged as a signature K-Medical tour procedure among international customers within just one year of its launch. Re2O is demonstrating robust sales growth and rapidly expanding its market presence among international visitors to Korea, playing a significant role in the ongoing success of the medical tourism industry. The product’s growing demand emphasizes its position as a preferred choice for consumers seeking advanced skincare solutions during their visit. Furthermore, Re2O is gaining substantial momentum in key markets such as China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, highlighting its broadening influence and strong commercial potential across the region.

Premium regenerative solution Re2O(ReCM, ECM: Extra Cellular Matrix)
Premium regenerative solution Re2O(ReCM, ECM: Extra Cellular Matrix)

This growth is particularly remarkable considering that Re2O had relatively low brand recognition only six months ago. Dermatology and plastic surgery clinics, as well as major university hospitals across Korea, have recently accelerated adoption of Re2O, leading to an explosive increase in appointment inquiries from overseas patients. Demand for Re2O is rapidly expanding across global markets, supported by strong sales growth and increasing market presence.

Momentum has further intensified following presentations at international academic congresses. After Korean medical professionals gave presentations at Korea Derma and PRS Korea in October and November, interest from overseas clinicians surged dramatically. This global exposure has triggered a sharp increase in inquiries from international buyers and clinics, fueling worldwide word-of-mouth.

Dr. Sung-Min Noh, CEO and Director of Benjamin Clinic, stated, “Recently, there has been a growing interest and increasing inquiries from overseas patients visiting Korea regarding Re2O, highlighting its rising popularity and expanding demand among international visitors.” He added, “Foreign patients typically cannot visit Korea frequently or undergo multiple repeat sessions like domestic patients. Re2O offers immediate yet long-lasting results, making it the ideal solution for overseas customers—and this naturally drives international word-of-mouth.”

Due to rapidly rising domestic and global demand, Re2O is experiencing temporary supply shortages. The company explained, “Orders are far exceeding our initial forecasts, creating short-term supply tightness. However, we are responding quickly by expanding production facilities and operating a two-shift manufacturing system.” The company also noted that while partial shortages may continue into the first half of next year, it is continuously enhancing production efficiency to ensure stable supply for both domestic and international customers.

L&C Bio plans to further strengthen its production and quality competitiveness in line with growing global demand for K-Medical. The company will continue introducing innovative products that elevate Korea’s global presence in the medical and regenerative medicine sectors.

SNC and Applied Intuition Forge Alliance to Fast-track Battlefield Autonomy

Collaboration will fuse rapid software innovation with combat-tested systems integration to outpace global rivals

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and SPARKS, Nev., Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a move signaling how quickly autonomous systems are reshaping modern warfare, physical intelligence leader Applied Intuition and global aerospace and defense company SNC today announced a partnership aimed at accelerating delivery of next-generation autonomous defense technologies.

Everything that moves is quickly gaining autonomy – especially on the battlefield – and Applied Intuition is creating the digital infrastructure needed to bring intelligence to all moving machines on the front lines. The Silicon Valley company’s dual-use autonomy software expertise combines with SNC’s long history of trusted open architecture mission systems development and integration to create a bridge between the need for rapid innovation and operational readiness.

The partnership aims to put mission-ready autonomy into the hands of warfighters, faster. Together, the companies will explore key opportunities to integrate Applied Intuition’s leading autonomy and simulation software with a variety of SNC’s mission-tested systems across domains. The joint work will concentrate on challenges in localized missile defense and counter-UAS operations, areas where distributed autonomy and real-time sensor fusion could dramatically shorten response times and reduce risk in contested environments.

A near-term focus is on SNC’S Expeditionary Area Air Defense (EAAD) systems. These horizontally integrated, ready-to-deploy defense solutions can now be built on Applied Intuition’s vehicle intelligence platform, combining off-road autonomy with TRL-9 air defense. Reinforced by SNC’s proven systems integration and global support structure, Autonomous EAADs reduces both personnel risk and the number of personnel needed, accelerating affordable air defense capability to provide customers with a defense that’s easily adaptable to diverse mission profiles.

Autonomous EAAD systems deliver increased effectiveness while removing personnel from harm’s way, reducing complexity and shortening deployment timelines. They provide scalable, cost-effective protection across multiple platforms and environments. Autonomous EAADs leverages Applied Intuition’s Vehicle OS, Acuity Ground Autonomy, and Axion Mission Control.

“This partnership epitomizes the merger of Silicon Valley’s innovation pace with advanced defense rigor, setting a new standard for rapid, effective and operationally relevant technology deployment,” said SNC CEO Fatih Ozmen. “Together, we are building a future that is responsive, flexible, cost-effective and crucial for safeguarding lives and enhancing mission success in increasingly complex environments.”

“The Department of War is shifting from experimentation to operational autonomy, and Applied Intuition is helping enable that transition through our partnership,” said Applied Intuition CEO and Co-founder Qasar Younis. “Combining Silicon Valley speed, innovation and engineering power with decades of experience in complex defense systems, Applied Intuition and SNC are determined to make battlefield autonomy not just a concept for the future, but a capability ready for deployment now.”

The announcement follows a surge of momentum for both companies. Earlier this year, Applied Intuition closed a $600 million Series F and tender offer at $15 billion valuation. The investment underscored the growing importance of defense applications in the company’s strategy, particularly as the Department of War looks to adopt commercial-grade software to modernize its fleets. Applied Intuition’s Axion and Acuity defense product families have been used across major programs in the Department of War, and the company has become a trusted partner to each branch of the military.

Concurrently, SNC has quickly earned a global reputation for delivering expeditionary counter-drone capabilities with incredible speed and effectiveness. The company’s BRAWLR air-defense platform, part of its EAAD family of systems, has earned praise for its reliability and responsiveness enabled by SNC’s open architecture hardware and software solutions. Developed and deployed on an expedited timeline, this technology represents the latest in a long line of game-changing innovations that SNC has developed swiftly in response to customer needs that have proven to be both highly successful and lifesaving.

The new collaboration between Applied Intuition and SNC reflects a broader shift within the defense industry, where speed and adaptability have become as important as scale. By pairing a software-defined autonomy platform with a leading defense integrator known for rapidly deployable, combat-ready, open architecture systems, Applied Intuition and SNC hope to shorten the cycle between concept and deployment for warfighter-focused solutions that will have a positive impact on the battlefield. That, in theory, could allow militaries to field, test and update capabilities faster, without sacrificing safety or mission assurance.

Together, Applied Intuition and SNC are delivering cutting-edge autonomy fusing commercial software agility with deep defense engineering and integration mastery. To learn more about how Applied Intuition is powering the future of physical intelligence, visit applied.co.
