   Under the Radar: How is SAP catering for Autonomous Enterprises enabled by AI agents? Its President for APAC explains.

   Artificial intelligence is shaking up the enterprise technology landscape and for software giant SAP, the stakes are particularly high. After all, the German company spent over half a century building software solutions that connect core business processes from finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, human resources to even analytics in a single, integrated environment. These solutions were optimised for humans to track operations, manage finances and conduct scenario testing across departments and silos. But what will happen to the enterprise software firm when the ones taking charge of these business processes are no longer humans, but AI agents? Well, it’ll have to build an ecosystem for catering to the needs of autonomous enterprises. In May 2026, the firm launched the SAP Business Platform that teaches AI agents how to use and work through its enterprise software based on the context of its customers’ workflows. Besides teaching agents how to use its software, SAP also introduced the SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP’s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish. Finally, it also launched the Joule Work, a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software. For instance, instead of navigating multiple applications and screens to search for data or to conduct scenario testing, users can interact with Joule, who will then find out the right combination of workflows, data and even seek the help of AI agents. But can SAP turn decades of enterprise data, workflows and customer relationships into an advantage to supercharge its growth in the AI era? And where does Asia Pacific fit into its next phase of growth? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Verena Siow, Regional President, Asia Pacific, SAP.

   Under the Radar: (SPECIALS) On the Go from the Singapore Grand Prix 2026 – How are Lenovo’s technologies turbocharging the Formula 1 races? Executives from Lenovo and F1 explain.

   Earlier in June, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed down to Miami, USA, to catch Match 71 of the FIFA World Cup and to see how global technology solutions provider Lenovo helped its organiser run the tournament seamlessly behind the scenes. But the FIFA World Cup is not the only sporting event featuring the firm’s technology. Lenovo is also powering Formula 1 races with solutions from workstations to even a Track-side Event Technical Centre that processes between 350,000 and 400,000 timing transponder passing events over a race weekend. At the Singapore Grand Prix 2026, Tian Tian sat down with Sumir Bhatia, Chief Commercial Officer of Asia Pacific at Lenovo, and Amie Smith, Head of IT Systems and Support at Formula 1, to dive into the technologies turbocharging the motorsport event, before seeing everything coming together in an F1 practice race.

   Under the Radar: How does Samudera Shipping expand while retaining flexibility and its niche in serving intra-Asia feeder routes? Its CEO explains.

   Incorporated in 1993 and subsequently listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange in 1997, Samudera Shipping Line is a shipping company primarily engaged in transporting containerised and non-containerised cargo through its Container Shipping, Bulk and Tanker, as well as Agency and Logistics Business Segments. Instead of competing with the world’s largest shipping companies by size, Samudera Shipping builds its strategy around finding niches. The maritime logistics player focuses on offering feeder services between its “hub” port in Singapore and other “spoke” ports in Asia, with its vessels plying trade routes between ports in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Far East and the Middle East. But beyond building its own niche, Samudera Shipping also values flexibility for its vessels, with the company owning only about one-third of its fleet. The rest are split between short-term and long-term charters. That flexibility is proving to be important in today’s ever uncertain world, with the Middle East conflict disrupting major shipping routes and pushing freight and insurance costs higher. For one thing, the firm moved all of its vessels out of the Gulf region when the war in the Middle East broke out in February 2026. The firm is also big on diversification, having recently expanded its footprint to Europe and South America. It had also in May 2026 launched a new weekly container service that directly connects Japan and South Korea. So, how effective has it been for Samudera Shipping to build its niche in providing feeder services? How far can Samudera Shipping continue to expand globally without sacrificing the flexibility that has defined its strategy? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Bani Mulia, Executive Director and Group CEO, Samudera Shipping.
