At SAP TechEd 2025, SAP is embedding artificial intelligence directly into the development lifecycle to fundamentally accelerate and enhance how developers build enterprise applications. New AI-powered capabilities across the SAP Build solution, an expanding data ecosystem with key partnerships, and intelligent Joule Agents are designed to empower technical teams to move from concept to production with greater speed and confidence. This deep integration of AI is transforming the development process, enabling a new level of efficiency and automation.
SAP Build now integrates with popular developer tools like Cursor and VS Code via new local Model Context Protocol Servers and a dedicated extension.
New agent-building capabilities in Joule Studio allow developers to create autonomous agents grounded in SAP business data and context.
SAP Business Data Cloud expands its ecosystem with a new solution extension and partnership with Snowflake, complementing existing ties with Databricks and Google Cloud.
A new data product studio and enhanced knowledge graph engine in SAP Business Data Cloud help developers turn raw data into actionable assets and insights.
SAP introduced its first enterprise relational foundation model, SAP-RPT-1, designed to predict business outcomes like delivery delays or payment risk.
The company has pledged to equip 12 million people worldwide with AI-ready skills by 2030 through expanded training and certification programs.
SAP Build, the flagship solution for enterprise application development and automation, is receiving significant AI-driven updates that offer developers more freedom. Developers who prefer agentic development solutions can now use SAP development frameworks with new local Model Context Protocol Servers. For Visual Studio Code users, a new SAP Build extension will bring these capabilities directly into their preferred environment, with plans to make it available on the Open VSX Registry. Furthermore, an integration between Joule Studio and n8n will enable their agents to collaborate, while new agent-building capabilities in Joule Studio allow for the creation of autonomous agents grounded in SAP business data.
Every intelligent application relies on trusted data, and SAP is enhancing how developers leverage it through SAP Business Data Cloud. A new solution extension and partnership with Snowflake brings its managed data and AI capabilities to SAP customers, offering flexibility in compute and storage while maintaining governance. This complements existing integrations with Databricks and Google Cloud. New capabilities like the data product studio enable developers to turn raw data into ready-to-use assets for analytics and AI. Additionally, an expanded SAP HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine can automatically generate knowledge graphs, revealing critical data relationships and underlying business insights.
SAP's AI portfolio is evolving to provide the intelligence and orchestration needed to move from insight to action. The company introduced its first enterprise relational foundation model, SAP-RPT-1, a new class of AI that predicts specific business outcomes rather than just text. A free playground environment is available for developers to experiment with this model. New AI assistants in Joule can now coordinate multiple agents across complex workflows in finance, supply chain, and HR. SAP also introduced new agents for technical users, such as an agent for business process analysis that helps identify inefficiencies and optimize workflows.
As AI continues to redefine professional roles, SAP's commitment to skill development is highlighted by its pledge to equip 12 million people with AI-ready skills by 2030. This will be achieved through expanded hands-on training and certification programs, including initiatives with partners like Coursera, ensuring the global workforce is prepared for the future.
