Software company SAP SE announced Wednesday (January 30) the launch of the SAP.iO Foundry San Francisco Winter 2019 Cohort. During the next three months, SAP will accelerate seven HR technology startups from across the globe as part of the program.

The selected startups will have access to curated mentorship and exposure to SAP technology and application programming interfaces (APIs), as well as opportunities to collaborate with SAP customers who can benefit from their solutions.

“We are excited at the opportunity and privilege to partner with these amazing ‘rising stars’ of the next-gen HR ecosystem, and to support them by bringing the best of SAP to bear, as they build innovative solutions that deliver high value to SAP customers,” said SAP.iO managing director Ram Jambunathan.

The program will culminate at the Cohort Demo Day in April 2019.

SAP.iO is growing a generation of software businesses in the SAP ecosystem and supports entrepreneurs leveraging SAP data, APIs and technologies to build products, find customers, and change industries.
