Abstract

SAP Next-Gen matchmaking for universities, corporations, startups, accelerators, and other partners was born from the realization that we need to work with the next generation of innovators directly. Industry partners have been increasingly approaching us over the last several years with challenges, and we have orchestrated an increasing numbers of SAP InnoJams, hackathons, and other innovation events.

SAP has embraced the view that training workers for a digital economy is our corporate responsibility. Going further, we believe that leading companies have a moral obligation to initiate people into the modern economy, regardless of where they come from (ibid).

Bill McDermott, CEO of SAP
