International pulse

AIAG has launched the Catena-X Hub North America, advancing the adoption of trusted dataspace technology for the automotive industry. At its VIP Immersion event in Detroit, industry leaders explored use cases like Product Carbon Footprint tracking, Quality Detection and Prevention, and Demand & Capacity Management. With T-Systems and other partners driving implementation, the hub sets the stage for secure, scalable, and collaborative data sharing to boost efficiency, compliance, and innovation across the automotive value chain.

AIAG has launched the Catena-X Hub North America at ALSC 2025, marking a major step in scaling the trusted automotive data ecosystem globally. The hub will accelerate digital transformation, supply chain collaboration, and sustainability initiatives by enabling secure, sovereign data exchange. The launch featured expert panels, success stories like the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) tracking pilot, and reinforced Catena-X’s role in driving efficiency and innovation across the value chain.

T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.

At LEAP 2025, T-Systems and Detasad showcased cutting-edge dataspace solutions, driving secure data collaboration, AI innovation, and compliance in Saudi Arabia. Through strategic partnerships and cloud-agnostic platforms, we empower businesses to scale, optimize operations, and unlock new revenue opportunities in the region’s thriving digital economy.

T-Systems and NTT Communications are pioneering global dataspace collaboration, bridging Europe and Japan with interoperable data-sharing ecosystems. This partnership leverages T-Systems’ Build & Operate testbed and NTT’s local expertise to foster innovation, trust, and secure cross-border data sharing.

At CES 2025, dataspaces take center stage in AI readiness and supply chain transformation. With pioneers like Catena-X and Ouranos, cross-organizational data sharing is unlocking high-quality datasets for AI and digital twins. Showcasing business cases from Ford-Flex+ to IAV’s internal dataspace, we explore how dataspaces fuel sustainability, efficiency, and next-gen automotive innovation.

Catena-X partners with AIAG to launch a North American hub, advancing data sharing for sustainability in automotive supply chains. Their innovative approach uses Web3 technology for secure, scalable, and efficient data exchange, including live demonstrations of Product Carbon Footprint tracking.

The Danish Data Space Forum and Gaia-X Hub launch showcases how businesses can securely share data using advanced dataspaces. T-Systems offers accessible, standardized solutions enabling organizations to focus on unlocking economic benefits rather than managing complex technology, supporting all industries in leveraging dataspaces effectively.

The Global Data Spaces Connect in Vienna highlighted the transition from technical exploration to practical, business-driven applications of dataspaces. With insights from experts like Wolfgang Ebner, Nina Popanton, and Sofie Verbrugge, the event showcased cross-domain innovations, sustainable business models, and real-world applications in fields such as smart cities and healthcare. Leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration, robust business cases, and scalability, underscoring dataspaces' potential to transform industries.
