Sponsored by SAP, the high-tech arena opened on September 2, 2005, and is considered one of the most technologically advanced multifunctional spaces in Europe, providing an outstanding venue for world-class sports and entertainment. The arena hosts approximately one million visitors to over 100 events throughout each year.

Impressive and inspiring, the architectural beauty of the building is matched by the technology used to operate and manage the interior space. In just hours, the SAP Arena can transform itself from an ice hockey pitch to handball field, and then to a state-of-the-art concert hall. In addition, the SAP Arena runs SAP Business Suite software to manage financials, accounting, human resources, sales, e-commerce, and inventory – ensuring efficiency behind the scenes.

Located just a half hour from SAP Walldorf headquarters in Germany, the 44,200 square-meter space can accommodate a wide range of events and presents a unique place for meetings and conferences.

Exciting acts coming to the SAP Arena in the coming months include the English rock bands Depeche Mode and Placebo, and Cirque du Soleil – Saltimbanco.

The SAP Arena is establishing itself as one of Europe's most exciting and important entertainment venues – a vivid example of SAP's ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities in which we live.
