In today's episode, I sit down with Yaad Oren, Global Head of SAP Research & Innovation and Managing Director of SAP Labs US, for a fascinating conversation about the technologies that could shape business over the next decade. Leading SAP's global research and innovation efforts, Yaad works at the intersection of academia, startups, venture capital, and enterprise technology, identifying emerging technologies before they reach the mainstream. His team explores everything from next-generation AI and voice interfaces to quantum computing, robotics, future data platforms, and new cloud architectures. We discuss why voice AI could become the primary interface for enterprise software, allowing employees to interact with business systems as naturally as they would with a colleague. Yaad also explains how quantum computing is already showing promise in complex supply chain optimization challenges and why robotics is moving beyond manufacturing floors into logistics, inspection, hospitality, and customer-facing environments. The conversation also explores one of the less talked about drivers of innovation: the role universities play in shaping the technologies businesses will eventually depend on. Yaad shares how SAP works closely with academic institutions around the world to identify breakthroughs while they are still emerging from research labs, long before they become commercial products. We also discuss SAP's vision for the autonomous enterprise, where AI assistants orchestrate teams of specialized agents across finance, supply chain, sales, and operations. Rather than replacing decision-makers, these systems are designed to automate routine work and…","meta_description":"What will the enterprise of the future actually look like, and which technologies deserve attention beyond the hype cycle?
