SAPPHIRE NOW, one of the industry’s most innovative cloud and business technology events, is right around the corner. As SAP.iO Venture Studio’s SAPPHIRE NOW lead, I have the pleasure of working with experts from SAP.iO and our startup leaders to build a great program for SAPPHIRE attendees.
SAP.iO is building revolutionary software businesses in the SAP ecosystem by helping entrepreneurs inside and outside the company to tap into SAP’s unique assets such as access to data and APIs. In addition to startup investments through SAP.iO’s venture fund, SAP employee-led startups also get access to funding and a unique environment to drive outsized value for enterprises across multiple industries.
In total, we’re hosting more than 20 demo sessions, keynotes, and interactive sessions at SAPPHIRE NOW this year and we’ll have three of our employee-led startups at SAPPHIRE NOW: Ruum, Atlas, and Brilliant Hire by SAP.
Here’s the rundown for the top 6 not to be missed sessions from SAP.iO.
You can find the entire SAP.iO session line up in the SAPPHIRE NOW session catalog (just search for SAP Leonardo and Future Technologies – SAP.iO Fund & Foundries and SAP.iO Venture Studio).
