SAP Inspiration Tour 2023
This year too we planned and delivered an inspiration trip for SAP and its EMEA North partners. This time it went to Potsdam, Berlin and Helsinki.
The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
Today many companies face the challenge of being innovative. That makes inspiration all the more important.
The Solution.
Was wir daraus
gemacht haben.
An inspiration trip to Potsdam, Berlin and Helsinki. There, participants gained exciting insights into start-ups, corporates and universities on the topics of customer experience 2.0, tech trends and business model innovation.
The inspiration trip started on 17 April at the SAP Innovation Center in Potsdam with a visit to the D-Shop, SAP's innovation lab for developers. Next came the Hasso Plattner Institute, which focuses on entrepreneurship. We spent the second day in Berlin, visiting Ecosia (the search engine that plants trees), the Bosch IoT Campus and the start-up Aitme, which has developed a cooking robot we were allowed to test live at the AI Campus. The next morning we flew to Helsinki, where we spent the whole afternoon at Aalto University, one of the world's front-runners. Thursday was shaped by visits with a high experience factor: IQM (quantum computing), Canatu (carbon nanotubes), Varjo (8K mixed reality headset) and Oura (a ring as a health device). To close the week we visited DAIN Studios, a consultancy, and ended this exciting trip with a debriefing. A great week full of inspiration, exciting people and a lot of fun!
What stuck
in the end.
Away from their everyday work, participants got to know inspiring people, business models and processes. They could also try out the newest tech gadgets live.
