Thank You International Faculties For Participating in the SAP University Alliances Digital Transformation Incubator Trip to Silicon Valley May 31 to June 4, 2016 in Palo Alto, California in Collaboration With SAP’s Academic Innovation Network Partners in Silicon Valley

Dear Faculty, On behalf of my entire SAP University Alliance team, I would like to thank you for participating in the SAP University Alliances Digital Transformation Incubator Trip to Silicon Valley May 31 to June 4, 2016 in Palo Alto, California. It was our privilege to connect you with leaders at SAP and in the SAP University Alliances Silicon Valley network who are driving innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation. Many of you shared how the trip enabled you to see that SAP is now a key enabler of digital transformation. We were thrilled to introduce you to our strong academic innovation network in Silicon Valley including Stanford University, Singularity University, Cannon Design, and the SAP Startup Focus program. Through their perspectives on how the convergence of Big Data, in memory computing & predictive analytics, and the Cloud are enabling both startups and enterprises to disrupt business models, and with the guidance of the Stanford Center for Design Research fellows, you developed amazing design concepts on “The Future of Education.” We hope that with your new relationships, you will take the spirit of innovation in Silicon Valley back to your students and colleagues; inspire them about the digital transformation, SAP’s enabling technologies, and our

innovation partners; and prepare your students to be the future designers, developers, makers, data scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders for the digital world. We look forward to hosting you and your colleagues at future SAP University Alliances innovation tours in Silicon Valley and other innovation hubs in our global academic innovation network. Yours Ann
