SAP opened its defense innovation hub in Munich, Germany, underscoring its long-term commitment to strengthening digital readiness as a core element of modern defense capability.
The hub is launched as armed forces and security institutions face increasing pressure to manage complex missions across allies, domains, and supply chains while maintaining resilience, transparency, and control.
At the defense innovation hub, SAP brings together software, data, AI, and industry expertise to demonstrate how integrated digital systems translate strategic requirements into operational readiness. This enables comprehensive integration across key areas such as personnel readiness, logistics, procurement, manufacturing, training, and maintenance. Together, these capabilities form the digital backbone required for real-world defense operations, according to SAP.
“Defense readiness today is no longer defined by equipment alone: It is defined by how well people, processes and partners are connected,” said Thomas Saueressig, member of the executive board of SAP SE, customer services and delivery. “In an increasingly volatile security environment, armed forces need systems they can trust—systems that are resilient, interoperable and sovereign. With our defense innovation hub, SAP is demonstrating how digital platforms can strengthen operational readiness while preserving control, compliance and freedom of action.”
Munich’s strong defense and technology ecosystem, combining innovative startups, established industry leaders, academic excellence and public institutions, provided the ideal setting for the new hub.
