Held at the Raffles City Convention Centre, Singapore, the event united over 1000 customers, partners, and technology experts from Southeast Asia to explore recently announced SAP solutions like green ledger carbon accounting and Business AI. The spotlight was on how organizations leverage SAP solutions and business networks to ensure their businesses are future-proof.
Verena Siow, President and Managing Director of SAP SEA, stated, "Our mission in SEA is to uplift the lives of our region's 700 million people. At SAP, we are accomplishing this through boosting innovation with ideas like business AI, driving sustainable outcomes with investments in carbon accounting and the green ledger, and assisting businesses in future-proofing their infrastructure for cloud resiliency."

Among them, Visa showcased their collaborative efforts with SAP to simplify and streamline B2B payments, seamlessly integrating them into the SAP ecosystem through SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
Meanwhile, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) stood out as the first Philippine business to successfully implement RISE with SAP, a transformative move that streamlined operations and consolidated their enterprise resource planning systems for enhanced efficiency.
ST Logistics, a prominent player in the supply chain industry, shared their strategic decision to embrace RISE with SAP, SAP SuccessFactors, and SAP BTP in a comprehensive three-year digital transformation plan. This ambitious initiative aimed to achieve operational excellence and sustainable growth, setting the stage for a more resilient and agile future.
One of the highlights of the event was the presence of Petrosea's Head of Digitalization, Sudarto Unsurlany, who shed light on their remarkable 3D strategy.

Moreover, SAP partnered with B Capital Group, a venture capital firm, to help startups scale through technology innovation in the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region.
