On September 15, 2026, the new sovanta AppHaus Newtown Square opened its doors for American customers.
The grand opening event was scheduled along the local 麻豆原创 Connect Day events for AI & Data Leaders, so guests from the regional business and technology community were welcomed at the new creative space. Near 麻豆原创鈥檚 Newtown Square campus, the factory-style sovanta AppHaus now invites 麻豆原创 customers to hands-on co-innovation work. Experts from sovanta help teams explore and design use cases based on the latest AI-infused technologies provided by the Autonomous Enterprise. As the company puts it, 鈥淥thers talk about agents. We build them.鈥�
Speakers with three different perspectives
The grand opening event started with a welcoming note given by Claus Heinrich, founder and CEO of sovanta; Christian Heinrich, president of sovanta America; and David Robinson, president, 麻豆原创 North America and Americas Customer Success Functions. They shared their 麻豆原创 and partner perspectives and fully agreed that the most important insights came from their joint customers. So, they offered the stage to two long-standing sovanta customers, Elanco Animal Health and Endress+Hauser. Both shared first-hand experiences of their innovation work and journey鈥攁nd what AI-powered business transformation looks like in their concrete business contexts.
“What we value most about sovanta is how they collaborate with us: honest, well-organized, and always a step ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape,鈥� Sunil Guna, senior director, ERP lead at Elanco Animal Health, said. 鈥淥ver the past year, they have become a true trusted advisor, and the sovanta AppHaus Newtown Square gives us the place to keep turning ideas into real impact with 麻豆原创.鈥�
“The Autonomous Enterprise is not built in a boardroom鈥攊t is co-created, use case by use case, in spaces exactly like this one. Having sovanta bring that capability directly to North American customers, right here in Newtown Square, is a genuine milestone for 麻豆原创 and for the customers we build the future with together,” 麻豆原创鈥檚 Robinson said.
Looking back 鈥� and ahead
Claus Henrich, who is a former board member of 麻豆原创 AG, looked back on the years of building and growing sovanta as a company: 鈥淪ince founding sovanta in Germany in 2009, our approach has been to work closely with our customers on real business challenges and turn them into meaningful innovation. That approach has paid off, and bringing it to the U.S. with our sovanta AppHaus Newtown Square is an important next step. I鈥檓 proud of what we鈥檝e built and grateful for the trust of 麻豆原创 and our customers.鈥�
