Catena-X

Last week, we had the pleasure of being part of the Lower Saxony booth at the Internationale Zuliefererbörse (IZB) in #Wolfsburg, representing Catena-X alongside Niedersachsen.next Automotive Agentur Agentur and Transfer-X. A highlight was the preview of the Niedersachsen.next Automotive Agentur’s #ExperienceRoom, which showcases #dataecosystems in an innovative way. Through virtual reality and interactive #gamification, the Experience Room demonstrates the benefits of a connected, data-driven world, making learning tangible and bringing data ecosystems to life. We had the opportunity to experience this serious game approach firsthand and look forward to seeing the final product come together! #WeAreCatenaX #IZB2024 #AutomotiveInnovation #DataDriven #ExperienceRoom #VR #ConnectedWorld #DigitalTransformation

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗫-𝗝𝘂𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲! 🚀 Time to celebrate! The CX-Jupiter Release went live on October 21st and is running smoothly. This one isn’t just about technology – it’s about adaptation and reducing complexity. With simplified onboarding, streamlined processes, and a global-ready framework, the CX-Jupiter release makes it easier for companies of all sizes to participate in the Catena-X ecosystem. 🌐 Here are some of the game-changing benefits: ✅ Easier onboarding & flexibility: The reworked Onboarding Service Provider (OSP) role and new sandboxes allow organisations to safely test features and get customised support faster.    ✅ Global collaboration: Expanded regulatory frameworks, including circular economy, simplify compliance and open up new opportunities for global collaboration. ✅ Enhanced usability: The launch of the Industry Core KIT and improvements to KITs and security features ensure data sovereignty and make the ecosystem more accessible to all users. It's about building a global ecosystem that fosters innovation and collaboration while helping organizations meet today's regulatory and operational challenges. Thank you to everyone who participates in our working groups, expert groups, committees or the Tractus-X open-source community.  For more details about the release, click here: https://lnkd.in/eyfEKH-i #WeAreCatenaX #CXJupiter #DigitalTransformation #GlobalCollaboration #DataSovereignty #Industry4.0

Last week, I had the pleasure of being part of a panel discussion at the “automotiveIT Kongress” alongside Oliver Ganser (BMW Group) and Dr. Sven Lorenz (Volkswagen Group). Many thanks to automotiveIT for the invitation & excellent organization and to Pascal Nagel and Yannick Tiedemann for the great moderation!   During the panel, we discussed the motivation behind Catena-X, how to generate business value, how to connect, and which solutions are already available.   Based on the feedback and the many valuable conversations we had, I am glad that we were able to highlight the essential aspects of Catena-X and inspire even more people with our shared vision.   In case you couldn't join us, here are the key takeaways:   - Catena-X reduces complexity, speeds up processes and increases data quality across the entire automotive network through radical standardization and digitalization - and new collaboration models. - There are already several certified apps for the different use cases and technical enablement services available at the marketplace (www.cofinity-x.com/apps) - Getting involved and joining the operative data exchange is easy (https://lnkd.in/emxVzvna) - First use cases (BPDM, PCF, Quality, DCM, …) with business value are already live and operational in multiple companies – and more are coming.   Get ready and engaged, Catena-X is here!   #WeAreCatenaX #dataspace #automotiveIT #cofinityX
