Solen Software Group, a permanent-capital acquirer and operator of mission-critical software businesses, announced the operational launch of the Solen AI Innovation Center in São Carlos, SP, Brazil.

The center strengthens Solen’s long-term capabilities by giving every company joining Solen direct access to dedicated AI expertise from day one. Working alongside founders and company leaders, the team identifies where AI can create the greatest long-term value, from modernizing software and accelerating time to market to enhancing products and developing new capabilities that deepen each company’s role in its customers’ workflows.

Complementing Solen’s decentralized operating model, each Solen company will set its own priorities based on its customers, market and strategic objectives. This allows the center to support a varied range of initiatives without applying the same approach to every business.

“AI is a core part of Solen’s long-term strategy across the portfolio,” said Rafael Mazzeo, Senior Operating Partner at Solen Software Group. “This launch reflects Solen’s broader commitment to investing in our resilient software businesses so they remain relevant and competitive. It gives them access to dedicated expertise that will help accelerate innovation, respond to changing customer needs and remain indispensable to their customers for decades to come.”
