The Intelligent Sustainable Enterprise Program

The Intelligent Sustainable Enterprise program, launched by SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) and Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), is a 6-month initiative that supports tech startups in developing innovative solutions for businesses. The program focuses on areas like 5G, IoT, robotics, data analytics, and AR/VR/MR.

In the current business environment, it is essential for companies to be both financially viable and environmentally responsible while also demonstrating intelligence. Employing cutting-edge technology enables businesses to make informed choices and swiftly adjust to market dynamics. The ability to make agile and intelligent decisions is imperative for sustained success in a constantly evolving world.

Verena Siow, President and Managing Director of South East Asia at SAP, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration with IMDA, stating that South East Asia’s rapid growth and vibrant startup scene make it an ideal hub for innovation. The region’s diverse economy, youthful digitally adept population, and rich culture create vast opportunities for businesses to prosper. SAP is dedicated to fostering co-innovation and aims to establish a thriving ecosystem that empowers startups to achieve their objectives.

To promote sustainable tech solutions, 9 startups have been selected by a panel of experts from SAP, IMDA, and SAP customers. These startups will collaborate with corporations and end-users to demonstrate practical applications of innovative technology in addressing industry-specific challenges.
