SAP Labs France, the SAP subsidiary dedicated to the Group’s R&D activities, announces the grand opening of its new Customer Experience Center dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Sophia Antipolis. This innovative Center represents an important milestone in SAP’s ongoing commitment to innovation and technological excellence.
Immersive experiences to explore AI’s potential
The new Center is located in the heart of Sophia Antipolis, one of Europe’s largest technology clusters, on the historic site of SAP Labs France. It will offer an immersive experience for SAP customers, who will be able to discover and experiment with AI, uncovering the opportunities it offers to their business.
SAP’s approach to Business AI is to deliver customers the most relevant, reliable and responsible AI. Through interactive pathways, visitors will have the opportunity to dive into several concrete applications of AI in fields such as art, cybersecurity, responsible AI, or energy transition. They will also be able to experience SAP’s new AI assistant: Joule, which delivers proactive and contextualized insights from across the SAP’s solution portfolio and third-party sources, helping people get work done faster and driving better business outcomes in a secure, compliant way.
An Innovation Center for tomorrow’s technological solutions
SAP Labs France considers it essential for customers and partners to be able to interact directly with the teams who design and develop their solutions. The company intends to show how AI is impacting the business world and enabling its employees to innovate daily, with the support of a dedicated group that facilitates access to knowledge, tools, and experts.
SAP has always used the latest technologies, including AI, to support its customers’ business in a sustainable and responsible way.
