n8n, the AI orchestration platform, today announced a strategic investment from SAP alongside a multi-year commercial partnership. The investment values n8n at $5.2bn – more than double its previous valuation of $2.5bn, secured less than a year ago. The two companies have also signed a multi-year commercial agreement under which n8n's workflow automation platform will be embedded natively within Joule Studio, SAP's agent-building environment in SAP Business AI Platform.

Together, the strategic investment and the commercial partnership mark a significant moment for n8n: the point at which a platform born in the open-source community becomes a key AI workflow tool for one of the world's largest enterprises. n8n already counts more than 1,400 enterprise customers alongside a community of 1.7mn monthly active developers and builders – from Fortune 500 teams running mission-critical processes to independent developers and startups building automation from scratch.
