SAP HANA Co-Innovation Lab Israel

HANA COIL Israel is responsible for the Israeli chapter of the Global Startup Focus program that was launched to support startups to develop new applications on SAP HANA. The program holds Startup Forum events organized by local SAP teams. From each Startup Forum, six to ten promising firms are invited to join a Development Accelerator (DA). The objective in DA is to build, initially, a Proof of Concept (PoC) and, eventually, a product with explicit business value. Once development is underway, SAP supports participants with regular architecture reviews, technical support and consulting. Dev teams get the most up-to-date documentation and access to the latest revisions of SAP HANA. SAP intends to help its program graduates successfully sell their applications. While the Startup Focus program does not fund startups (other than with program support) the program will actively be recommending promising startups to SAP Ventures.
