  • Software-maker SAP became Europe's most valuable company this week, riding a wave of artificial intelligence enthusiasm and German stock market gains. CEO Christian Klein previously told CNBC that SAP had the "richest business data set of all tech companies" which was allowing it to deliver a multitude of new AI services.

SAP, a leading German software company, has emerged as Europe's most valuable company, surpassing luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, with its market capitalization reaching approximately $208 billion. This milestone comes amidst a significant boom in the German stock market, where the DAX index has seen a 15% increase in 2023, driven by expectations of a pause in interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank. SAP's rise to the top is attributed to its robust performance and strategic focus on cloud computing, which has bolstered investor confidence. The company's shares have climbed nearly 30% this year, reflecting strong market approval of its business model and future growth prospects. This shift highlights a broader trend where technology firms are increasingly dominating market valuations in Europe.
