Huawei is extending its strategic partnership with SAP by opening an Innovation Center in Germany with an initial focus to support the development of joint solutions for go-to-market activities in the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets.
The center will serve as an incubator for the development of innovative partner and customer solutions, also facilitating performance and standards testing and training certification.
