About us

Catena-X is the first open and collaborative data ecosystem designed specifically for the automotive industry. It enables sovereign, standardized, and secure data exchange across the entire value chain – from OEMs and suppliers to mid-sized companies. All participants retain full control over their data at all times. The goal of Catena-X is to sustainably enhance transparency, efficiency, and resilience across the industry through shared standards.

Driven by industry needs, Catena-X has evolved into a global network with strong support from regional partners known as “hubs.” In North America, Catena-X is represented by AIAG; in Shanghai by a broad initiative; in France by GALIA and the PFA; in Spain by SERNAUTO together with ANFAC; and in Sweden by Mobility Sweden. In Japan, Catena-X collaborates with the national Ouranos Ecosystem on a technical level.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build a trusted foundation for digital collaboration. By providing shared standards, open interfaces, and clear governance, we empower sovereign exchange of business-critical data – efficiently, interoperably, and at scale. Our aim is to lower entry barriers to data-driven value creation for companies of all sizes. In doing so, Catena-X generates real, measurable value for every stakeholder in the ecosystem.

Our Vision

We envision a globally connected industry in which data is exchanged securely, efficiently, and with full control across company and national boundaries. Catena-X stands for an ecosystem that fosters innovation, supports compliance with regulatory requirements, and promotes sustainability through transparency. We aim to serve as a blueprint for trusted data spaces across industries – shaping a digital, open, and resilient industrial future together.
