The fourth edition of SAP Startup Social will focus on disrupting limitless possibilities in enterprise management
Over a 100 million new businesses are launched globally every year, which roughly translates to 11,000 startups launched every hour! In this fast-paced environment, it is essential for startups to keep on innovating, if they want to stay ahead in the game and survive. But, sometimes, startups lack the push to help them up their product management game and achieve high-trajectory growth. If you're wondering how to get there faster, come find out at the SAP Startup Social 2019.
