In a major step forward for enterprise data and artificial intelligence, SAP SE and Snowflake Inc. announced a strategic collaboration designed to empower organisations to harness semantic business data and build AI-driven applications at scale. This marks a significant move toward a SAP Snowflake unified data fabric, enabling enterprises to work with trusted, harmonised, and AI-ready information.
The partnership brings Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud together with SAP’s Business Data Cloud (BDC) to create an integrated business data fabric that spans mission-critical business processes and advanced analytics. With zero-copy data sharing between SAP BDC and Snowflake, enterprises can now access rich, context-laden business data in real time, unify SAP and non-SAP data, and build intelligent applications rooted in trusted enterprise-grade datasets—a powerful example of SAP Snowflake integration enabling real-time innovation.
Why this matters
The SAP-Snowflake collaboration delivers three key benefits:
- A trusted, AI-ready data foundation: The integrated platform enables enterprises to harmonise business-critical data across the enterprise, breaking down silos and providing a single view of operations using SAP Business Data Cloud and Snowflake AI Data Cloud capabilities.
- Accelerated AI business value: By combining semantically rich SAP data with Snowflake’s scalable compute and analytic capabilities, firms can ground AI-driven applications in real world business context, improving relevance and trust.
- Intelligent apps powered by enterprise data: With a unified governance framework and zero-copy sharing, developers and data teams can build, deploy, and optimise AI applications faster, grounded in the mission-critical data that drives the business—strengthening the vision of an intelligent business with SAP and Snowflake.
What it means for you – as a partner or customer
For customers of SAP and Snowflake, this is an invitation to move from pilot to production, from isolated analytics to enterprise-scale AI.

This collaboration further demonstrates how Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud and SAP BDC together accelerate enterprise transformation.
For partners, this announcement signals a rich opportunity. You can support clients in integrating their SAP footprint with Snowflake’s data cloud, designing semantic data products, building AI agents, and accelerating time to value.
