A Successful Conclusion and a Promising New Beginning

On June 10 and 11, the final event of the Catena-X consortium took place in Munich with 320 participants. After three successful years, the consortium is coming to an end and the baton is now being passed in full to the Catena-X e.V. association.

The event's highlights included:

  • A presentation of the Product Carbon Footprint use case
  • A live demo on Wallet & Credential Issuance in Catena-X
  • Presentations from various workstreams, including Digital Product Passports, Circularity Cockpit, and the Circularity Kit
  • The symbolic handover of the baton from Oliver Ganser to Ernst-Stöckl-Pukall for emerging initiatives based on Catena-X technologies

We would like to wholeheartedly thank all our consortium partners, without whose passionate commitment we would not be where we are today. Special thanks also go to the BMWK for the ministry's support during the project period.

We are very grateful for what has been achieved so far and look forward to advancing the further development and scaling of Catena-X under the leadership of the association. Our managing directors, Anja Misselbeck, Hanno Focken, and Michael Hahn, invited all participants to continue actively participating in the data space.

With the consortium, a unique collaboration model in the automotive industry comes to an end – with significant impact beyond the industry’s borders. We look forward to continuing to support other data spaces vigorously. Our Minister of Economics, Dr. Robert Habeck, also thanked all participants in a video message, emphasizing that the journey is just beginning and that Catena-X is seen as a successful model for other Manufacturing-X projects.

Catena-X e.V. is proud of the milestones achieved and looks optimistically to the future to continue promoting innovation and sustainability in the industry.
