About SAP Labs

Being plugged into the local ecosystem is a true competitive advantage, so each Lab seeks out partners, universities, and startups to build relationships as a trusted peer and thought leader on topics of strategic importance to SAP. For example, while the Labs in Paris and Canada focus on analytics applications, Labs Latin America localizes SAP solutions for the world’s markets and SAP Labs Bulgaria is refining the technology around SAP’s cloud platform for real-time computing.

Project examples

Digital Shoe Shopping

As the third-largest lab in the SLN, SAP Labs China contributes to the network through a deep expertise in Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning. In collaboration with Aimickey Shoe Company, one of the key SAP customers in Asia, SAP Labs China combines Machine Learning and Virtual Reality technologies in the SAP Connected Products solution that helps change the shoe manufacturing and the shoe shopping experience in Chengdu, China.

Smart Metro

As a result of a productive co-innovation process between SAP Labs CIS, which has a deep expertise in Internet of Things (IoT), and Petersburg Metro, a pilot part of the predictive maintenance and service project for escalator equipment has started. Two metro stations were selected to test an SAP solution that uses HCP, SAP SQL Anywhere, SAP Predictive Analytics, SAP Lumira, and much more. 

Rethinking Real Estate Management

SAP Labs Berlin has strong thought leadership in various areas, including Blockchain and Machine Learning. A great example of how it excels in the area of Blockchain is SAP Cloud for Real Estate, which gives corporate real estate managers and CFOs the insights they need to expertly manage their operations using the latest visualization technology to digitally represent a building.

Helping ALS Patients

SAP Labs are actively engaged in socially oriented projects that address important issues related to local community, health, and education. SAP Labs Israel, in collaboration with the Prize4Life, have developed an app that helps patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neurodegenerative disease. Because ALS progresses quickly, there is no time to research and develop drugs. The application saves data about the progression of the desease to serve future ALS research.
