[[{“value”:”In the age of AI, business advantage comes from being connected, ready, and able to act when it matters most.
Every customer journey begins with a moment that demands change. Real value is created when that moment becomes momentum. In this SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026 customer keynote, SAP leaders and customers explore how business AI, clean core transformation, SAP Business Data Cloud, Joule, RISE with SAP, and SAP Business Technology Platform help organizations turn complexity into clarity and innovation into measurable outcomes.
