SAP TechEd in 2026: SAP Tells Developers “You Can Build the Autonomous Enterprise”

From vision to reality: In 2026, SAP executives at SAP TechEd demonstrate how developers, customers, and partners can use SAP’s comprehensive AI tools and SAP Business AI Platform to build the Autonomous Enterprise.

SAP TechEd in 2026: The Autonomous Enterprise Becomes a Reality

In 1996 SAP held its first event for developers. Thirty years later in Berlin, SAP CTO Philipp Herzig told the SAP TechEd keynote audience, “We are experiencing the biggest and fastest technological shift in our lifetime.”

“For decades developers have been building systems in a structured, deterministic way. But the world for builders has changed tremendously with AI,” he said. “It changes what’s possible. This is what SAP TechEd is all about: combining both classical and new technologies that unlock the magic for business and provide endless opportunities to innovate.”

From vision to execution

Underscoring his point, Herzig noted that during the SAP Sapphire conference earlier this year, the company “put out a bold vision to enable the Autonomous Enterprise, re-imagining every business process end-to-end with AI. And just like 30 years ago, the whole tech stack is shifting.”

For SAP, this is reflected in Joule Work and the new SAP Business AI Platform. Herzig described Joule Work as a “groundbreaking new way to experience software” that taps into SAP’s five autonomous domains and assistants that reason and act across SAP and non-SAP data, and SAP Business AI Platform as “the foundation where you build and extend agents, manage all your data, and govern AI experiences.”
