Unifying Real-Time Data and Powering AI Agents Across GlobalFoundries

Semiconductor manufacturing runs on some of the most sensitive, high-stakes data in any industry… and increasingly, on AI agents that need safe, governed access to it. 

GlobalFoundries partnered with Redpanda to replace legacy data infrastructure with a unified, real-time data platform that streams equipment, process, and scientific data across its global manufacturing footprint. That same foundation now powers a growing portfolio of AI agents across IT, procurement, and other business functions, all governed through Redpanda's Agentic Data Plane.

Join Vishal Mehra, SVP & CIO at GlobalFoundries, and Redpanda Founder & CEO, Alex Gallego for a conversation on what it takes to govern AI agents inside one of the world's most demanding manufacturing environments, and, why real-time data and agent governance are two sides of the same problem.

Come learn how:

  • GlobalFoundries unified equipment, process control, engineering, and business data into a single real-time platform across its global fabs
  • Real-time data is the prerequisite for trustworthy AI agents, not just faster dashboards
  • Agent governance (identity, permissions, and audit trails) matters as much on the fab floor as it does in the back office
  • Global Foundries is scaling its agent portfolio across IT, procurement, and other functions without compromising the security semiconductor manufacturing demands
