European multinational SAP SE is opening an accelerator program in Tel Aviv designed to support early-stage startups building innovative software, the software corporation said in a statement. The 12-week program, dubbed SAP.iO Foundry, will start in July 2019 and will work with 10 startups “focused on deep technology and the intelligent enterprise to deliver incremental value to SAP’s customers,” the company said.
Christine Tao, Co-Founder & CEO of Sounding Board, SAP.iO Foundry SFC and Shuchi Rana, Head of SAP.iO Foundry SFC shared the stage at Girl Talks, a forum for women to share & learn from one another’s experiences hosted on behalf of the United Nations Foundation and Girl Up. Centered around the theme “Redefine Possible,” powerful female leaders will share stories from their own experience that highlight a time where they broke through a ceiling, created something new, or empowered themselves/others to pave their own path. This event harnessed the power of storytelling to showcase the strength of female leaders from all walks of life and inspire a new generation of leaders.
SAP.iO led the conversation about inclusive entrepreneurship at SAP’s SDG Media Zone at SXSW.
