Added Value for our Members

Catena-X e.V. offers a large spectrum of dialogue platforms, thereby creating new solutions to address the key challenges and chances of the automotive industry.  

We follow a unique approach: At Catena-X we develop solutions collaboratively as one industry involving all stakeholders (users, suppliers, across the value chain). Therefore, we offer multiple dialogue platforms to our members, so they can create well-rounded ideas in a 360° way and test them internationally:  

  • Working groups 

  • Committees 

  • International Hubs 

  • Townhall Meetings 

  • Onsite Events 

  • Open Source Projects 

Catena-X e.V. will start on a “Greenfield” that will grow through the use of a phase-based approach and the effort of our members: 

  • 05/2021: Foundation 

  • 2021 / 2022: Creation of foundational structures, processes, and theme groups as a working foundation 

  • 2022: Initiation and formation of strategic and global partnerships: By using our industry networks we can offer global and interdisciplinary dialog platforms including representatives from the economy, science and politics 

  • 2022 / 2023: Internationalizing and achieving global acceptance: Creating a framework of standards, policies and references that build a legally compliant and secured foundation for scaling and data spaces.  

  • 2023: Initiation of the data space 

  • 2023 - 2024: Forming an Open Source Community within the Eclipse Foundation and its project Tractus-X  

Additional exclusive services offered to Catena-X e.V. members: 

  • Participation in 360°-Catena-X-Workshops / Use Case Sessions: 360° expert dialogues (suppliers, users, across the value chain incl. regulation) to create scalable, global and interoperable solutions. 

  • Sneak Preview and participation in Case Studies and client studies conducted before the market entry of new solutions (up to the Beta-phase). Thereby requirements and specifications can be brought in which can then be tested alongside selected partners in a legally compliant way.  

  • Access to the Catena-X e.V. collaboration platform and therefore exchange with members and access to work results of the association (Teams etc.). 

And this is just the beginning of our journey.
