We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the Expert Group “Onboarding & Offboarding”. Applications are accepted until April 04, 2026.

 

Purpose

As Catena-X grows, onboarding must evolve to support scalability, decentralization, and regional requirements. Additionally, a standardized offboarding process is needed to ensure structured and secure exits. The Expert Group will own the standards CX-0006 (Registration & Initial Onboarding) and CX-0009 (CX Registration API).

 

Key Goals

  • Standardized onboarding for virtual participants
  • Design of a structured offboarding process
  • Integration of regional requirements (e.g., China)
  • Decentralization of onboarding capabilities
  • Gap analysis and alignment with existing Catena-X standards and governance models

The work covers technical, contractual, governance, and migration aspects.

 

Why participate?

  • Shape the scaling strategy of Catena-X
  • Influence decentralized onboarding and ecosystem growth
  • Contribute to a fair and open enablement market

 

Who should apply?
