Exciting news. A FIRST for AFSUG – we are hosting our first SAP Hackathon in collaboration with SAP.

AFSUG is thrilled to announce the SAP BTP Hackathon as part of SAPHILA 2025! This exciting event invites AFSUG members to submit business use cases that demonstrate the potential of SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP). Submissions will be evaluated by a jury, with the most viable use cases—those showcasing clear business benefits—selected to participate in this innovative initiative.

What are we looking for?
Your use case submissions should highlight creative and impactful ways to leverage SAP BTP components, such as:

SAP Build

SAP HANA Cloud

SAP Integration Suite

ABAP Cloud

What’s in it for you?

Selected teams will receive hands-on coaching and enablement from SAP BTP experts.

Participants will gain access to exclusive resources and enablement sessions to support their prototype development.

Finalists will showcase their projects at the Demo Jam at SAPHILA 2025, taking place in June 2025.

Winners will be recognized and rewarded at the SAPHILA 2025 Awards Ceremony.

How It Works

Enablement and Support: SAP’s global team of BTP experts will guide participating teams through the implementation and use of SAP BTP.

Enablement Webinars: Deep-dive sessions covering various BTP technologies and applications. Dates and agendas will be announced soon.
