Syngenta’s transformation will begin with SAP Cloud ERP Private solutions. The intent is to embed AI into the core of the company's operations. In conjunction with this, Syngenta will implement SAP Business Data Cloud to support AI integration. This will be combined with SAP Business AI and AI-assisted tools such as the Joule copilot. The motivation behind this ERP overhaul is Syngenta's plan to increase production significantly by 2050, with a projected goal of feeding around 10 billion people.

“AI is the catalyst for agricultural transformation and has quickly become a core competitive edge for Syngenta.”

Feroz Sheikh,
Chief Information and Digital Officer,
