The world is always changing, but this usually happens under certain conditions. These are also currently changing. The economy must quickly adapt its business models and processes to increase customer loyalty, but also to stop climate change and its harmful consequences for the common good. At the same time, many new technologies are available to a mass of users for the first time, and we cannot yet accurately predict their impact on business and professional life.

In order to bring more clarity to these areas, the SAP Academic Community Conference 2024 (D-A-CH) will focus on INNOVATION TO FOSTER SUSTAINABILITY from September 3-4, 2024. This motto will be explored in depth in the following five topic areas in community sessions:

• New and innovative teaching methods to impart the necessary skills
• Working with advanced technologies
• Big data and analytics with SAP - obtaining reliable information by analysing data
• Environment Social Governance (ESG), circular economy and sustainability
• International cooperation with various partners within the SAP ecosystem

We are convinced that innovation is the driver for sustainability and its successful implementation. We therefore encourage all interested parties to contribute to this further development and enrich the proceedings of the conference with their contributions.
