Catena-X: Industry leaders confirm commitment at IAA MOBILITY 2025

Discover how Catena-X and Cofinity-X enable secure, standardized authentication of Electronic Control Units.

Catena-X, the Government of British Columbia, and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) are testing interoperability with the UN Transparency Protocol. The pilot demonstrates how sovereign, cross-border data exchange can work, linking mining, electronics, and automotive supply chains. A scalable model for global digital trust and regulatory-ready ecosystems.

To meet the need for standardised sustainability practices, WITTE Automotive has implemented advanced solutions with SAP and can calculate its PCF according to the Catena-X framework.

In an era of rapid digital transformation and evolving regulatory landscapes, achieving traceability in manufacturing has never been more critical. The Dräxlmaier Group, an international leader in the automotive sector, recently shared its inspiring journey of implementing traceability solutions using the Catena-X network. Here's how they did it.

Managing recalls in the automotive industry is often costly and a logistical nightmare. German car manufacturers alone set aside reserves of €1.4 to €1.8 billion per year for such cases. However, thanks to a collaboration between SAP and Catena-X, significant cost savings can be achieved, and the efficiency of recalls can be drastically improved or avoided.

Cofinity-X secures its role as operating company for Catena-X through 2028, continuing to deliver trusted digital identity services, infrastructure, and a marketplace for automotive data collaboration.

It’s often pitched as an exciting concept, but decentralised data-exchange is now a reality for companies in the automotive value-chain. In our latest webinar, Cofinity-X invited Ford and Flex to conduct a live demonstration of how the process works for the exchange of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data via Catena-X.

Get ready for the next step in the Catena-X ecosystem. The upcoming breaking change release, planned for Q4 2024, will introduce important updates that will shape the future of the data space. A structured action plan, rolled out in three waves, will support your team through key updates and testing phases. Take part in our support offerings to ensure a smooth transition and stay informed about the latest developments.

We are excited to introduce the Business Partner Explorer, a powerful new feature that simplifies the way companies share and access business partner data across the Catena-X network.
