San Francisco, CA — Nov 13, 2025 — Nova Intelligence, the leading agentic AI platform for SAP, today announced its selection into the Chevron Technology Ventures (“CTV”) Catalyst Program, a strategic initiative designed to accelerate the adoption of breakthrough technologies across the energy industry.
The Catalyst Program, launched by CTV in 2017, aims to accelerate the growth of rising companies working on technologies potentially beneficial to the energy sector. The program provides the framework for technology firms to demonstrate and scale solutions that can potentially enhance efficiency and digital transformation across Chevron’s operations and the rest of the energy sector.
Through the program’s framework, Nova Intelligence aims to advance the application of its agentic platform for SAP to streamline, simplify, and optimize critical enterprise processes in energy and industrial contexts.
“Being selected for the Chevron Technology Ventures Catalyst Program is an exciting milestone for Nova Intelligence,” said Emma Qian, co-founder & CEO of Nova Intelligence. “It shows strong support of our mission to drive transformation and build with agentic AI across complex ERP environments — and an exciting opportunity to collaborate with one of the most forward-thinking innovation teams in the energy sector.”
In parallel with Nova Intelligence joining the Catalyst Program, they are working with CTV to evaluate potential proof-of-concept and trial initiatives within Chevron. Nova Intelligence's platform helps SAP teams work faster across the full lifecycle — from design and development to testing and operations — accelerating S/4HANA transformations, Clean Core modernization, and day-to-day SAP work. SAP Clean Core is a strategy for keeping an SAP S/4HANA ERP system as close as possible to the standard, vendor-provided core, minimizing custom code and invasive modifications. Given the wave of S/4HANA transformations, Nova Intelligence’s technology is particularly relevant for organizations looking to de-risk their large-scale SAP modernization projects. Nova Intelligence's multi-agent AI platform is being adopted by global enterprises and strategic partners, helping organizations not only during their initial S/4HANA transformations but also in maintaining Clean Core compliance making future upgrades much easier.
