51³Ô¹ÏÍø

51³Ô¹ÏÍø has maintained a close relationship with SAP for many years. As a 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Partner of Excellence, SAP is currently erecting a modern research building on the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Garching campus, the SAP Labs Campus.

Both partners now plan to further expand this relationship in the IEP. This will include joint research projects, lecture series, Meet-the-Students events and a joint SAP&51³Ô¹ÏÍø Collaboration Day. The scientific contact on the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø side is Prof. Florian Matthes, who conducts research in Business Information Systems and Software Engineering.

Dr. Rüdiger Eichin, Head of Industry-University Collaboration at SAP Labs Munich comments: "In addition to applied research, we place a high priority on mutual knowledge exchange and co-innovation with customers and partners. The 51³Ô¹ÏÍø IEP provides the necessary framework, enabling joint work on research-driven innovations. Our topics range from sustainable corporate management and resilient supply networks all the way to the challenges of the Digital Transformation. The SAP@51³Ô¹ÏÍø Collaboration Lab will let us work together to make an important contribution both to the company and to society."

51³Ô¹ÏÍø President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann says: "Our IEP is creating a new fast track for the transfer of new scientific findings to economically viable innovations. A working relationship on equal terms with industry partners and based on trust is decisive for the success of this transfer. SAP is a fantastic example of this."

The IEP is also open to additional partners from the industry sector. It creates an attractive opportunity for companies of all sizes interested in a strategic partnership with 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and in taking partnership with 51³Ô¹ÏÍø to a new level of quality.
