Tuned Global acquires Figaro.ai
Tuned Global’s acquisition of Figaro.ai (a music audio AI software developer) is intended to strengthen their music streaming and licensing platform with AI-enhanced audio insight, personalization, and content analysis. Though no financials were disclosed, the strategic goal is to embed Figaro’s audio intelligence models—such as feature extraction, style matching, and predictive content tagging—into Tuned Global’s backend. This innovation allows more refined recommendation engines, dynamic audio transformations, and content discovery features, differentiating Tuned’s platform in a crowded streaming/rights management landscape.
C2A Security acquires Vigilant Ops
C2A Security’s acquisition of Vigilant Ops (SBOM and product security software) is part of its push to strengthen embedded device and software supply-chain security. Strategically, this gives C2A deeper visibility into software bill-of-materials (SBOM) generation, vulnerability mapping, and product risk assessments. Technologically, Vigilant’s tools provide automated SBOM creation, dependency tracing, and real-time security telemetry, which complement C2A’s existing IoT/cyber-physical protection stack. The deal terms have not been disclosed publicly, but it reflects industry demand for integrated product-security across connected systems.
Vitec acquires majority stake in NMG (Energy Management Software)
Vitec acquired a majority stake in NMG, a software maker in energy management systems, to expand its portfolio into the smart energy and sustainability domain. Strategically, the investment positions Vitec into the growing market of energy analytics, monitoring, and optimization. Technology-wise, NMG’s platform offers real-time energy usage dashboards, predictive analytics, fault detection, and IoT integrations. While the transaction’s valuation isn’t publicly known, the move aligns with Vitec’s ambition to diversify into regulated utilities and energy-as-a-service verticals.
Speech Graphics acquires Aquifer Motion
Speech Graphics (via its AI avatar division Rapport) acquired Aquifer Motion, a full-body video animation software company, to elevate its digital human capabilities from facial animation to truly lifelike avatars with full body movement and cinematic framing. The strategic aim is to bridge the gap between high-fidelity animation and real-time conversational avatars, enabling enterprises (in L&D, marketing, sales) to deploy emotionally rich avatar experiences at scale. While the financial terms remain undisclosed, the acquisition underscores a leap in avatar innovation and vertical integration of motion capture technology with AI animation.
