SAP partners up to make AI more practical

AI transformation partnership

Claiming to be Europe’s largest initiative for the application of trustworthy AI technology, appliedAI was set up in 2017 by Andreas Liebl as a division of UnternehmerTUM Munich. In 2022 it was transformed into a joint venture with Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (IPAI) Heilbronn.

The  appliedAI initiative seeks to provide comprehensive support to corporations such as BMW and Siemens, but also to midsize user companies, in their AI transformations, according to their mission. The exchange and joint development of knowledge, accelerator programs, and specific solutions and services are intended to help with this.

This is where SAP could come into play. Many partners of the appliedAI initiative use SAP’s software to run their businesses. The new collaboration between SAP and appliedAI opens up opportunities for the appliedAI partnership network to “optimize business processes with AI and make better use of data, especially in the areas of finance, HR, and supply chain,” according to the companies’ announcement.
