Today we are announcing that SAP has invested in n8n. The investment values n8n at $5.2bn, more than double our valuation from less than a year ago.
Alongside the investment, we are also embedding n8n natively inside SAP's Joule Studio.
It's a significant moment, and I want to share what it means.
I started n8n almost seven years ago. Since then, the community that's grown around it (now 1.7 million monthly active builders) is what's shaped the platform. What's moved fastest this past year is enterprise adoption: more than 1,400 enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 teams running mission-critical processes. This partnership is one of the first moves toward bringing n8n closer to the systems our enterprise customers run on, starting with SAP.
SAP is one of the most trusted names in enterprise software, 99 of the 100 largest companies in the world are SAP customers. This partnership reflects the need from enterprises for workflows they can put on mission-critical paths without giving up control. Data sovereignty over where information lives and moves, sector-specific compliance, and full audit trails and governance over every workflow and every agent decision. For a lot of large organizations, that's the difference between running AI in production and not running it at all.
There's a lot of talk about AI agents and workflows right now, but what we heard from our community and customers is that some of their work is deterministic: one correct outcome, anything else is a mistake. Compliance checks, billing, data updates. The rest is non-deterministic: outcomes shaped by judgment and context, where two reasonable systems can land on different answers and both be right. Triaging a ticket, drafting copy, deciding what to do with an anomaly.
n8n is built for that mix: deterministic logic when there's a single right outcome, agentic systems when it's a probabilistic judgment call across a spectrum of outcomes.
n8n and SAP are both German technology companies betting on each other to give enterprises the platform they'll build AI on. Europe has been searching for its own AI champions for a while and partnerships like this are how they get built.
A lot more is coming to n8n this year, and this is one of several big steps.
More to share soon.
