BENGALURU: SAP SE has announced that a new batch of 16 startups would join the 2020-2021 cohort of SAP Startup Studio program. The startups will get guidance, an opportunity to co-innovate with teams and access to the partner ecosystem.
The current cohort of enterprise technology startups is a balance of early and growth stage. These include Predictive Analytics, Blockchain, Machine Learning, Cloud, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Drone Tech, Augmented reality and Virtual reality. SAP Startup Studio aims to build a platform that helps early and growth-stage startups with opportunities to mature and expand their businesses in a nurturing environment.
This year, SAP Startup Studio has three new offerings:
