As we approach the fifth anniversary of Catena‑X e.V., we would love to hear the success stories of our Catena-X Association members, their reflections, and perspectives on the impact that being part of the Catena‑X ecosystem has had — and continues to have — on their organization.

We are particularly interested in capturing a holistic view across past, present, and future:

  • Looking back: How has your involvement in Catena‑X evolved over time? What were your initial expectations, and how have past experiences shaped your current approach and strategy?
  • Current reality: What is happening today within your organization as part of Catena‑X? How are you actively using the Catena‑X Data Space, and what tangible outcomes are you seeing in your day‑to‑day operations?
  • Looking ahead: What are your ambitions and vision for the future with Catena‑X? What role do you see Catena‑X playing in your company’s long‑term strategy, and where are you heading together?

We are also interested in capturing both key dimensions of your experience:

  • Data Space perspective: How have specific use cases helped you create value—for example by saving time and costs, improving traceability, enabling more efficient capacity planning, or supporting regulatory compliance such as the battery passport?
  • Association perspective: How has your Catena‑X e.V. membership contributed to your success? This could include collaboration within the network, joint development of standards, knowledge exchange, or broader strategic benefits of being part of the ecosystem.

In addition, we would be particularly interested in your reflections on:

  • What challenges you are currently facing and how Catena‑X helps—or could help—address them
  • Where you see the biggest opportunities for scaling impact in the future
  • What you believe should be the next priorities for Catena‑X as an ecosystem

Whatever your story, we would be delighted to hear from you. Your input will help us showcase not only the achievements so far, but also the shared vision for the future of Catena‑X. Contributions will be used in our communications around the five‑year anniversary. While we cannot guarantee inclusion of every submission, we will do our very best to feature as many perspectives as possible.

To share your story, please contact us at press@catena-x.net by August 31, 2026. Only submissions from Catena-X Association members will be accepted.

Authors of particularly compelling submissions may be invited to present their story during a dedicated 5–10 minute speaker slot at the Catena-X Association Anniversary Event on 15 October 2026 in Munich.

Please note that presentation slots are limited and will be selected based on the relevance, diversity, and overall fit of the submitted stories for the anniversary programme.
