Driving collaboration. Sharing insights. Accelerating adoption. 

T-Systems is helping to unlock the next level of Catena-X adoption with the launch of the supplier-to-supplier meetup series. This new monthly, regional series creates a neutral, supplier-centric platform where peers can exchange openly, address shared challenges, and accelerate real-world implementation across supply tiers.  

Unlike traditional top-down industry events, this series is built by suppliers, for suppliers. It is a hands-on forum where Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers can share practical experiences, explore implementation challenges, and identify potential partners for pilot projects and joint initiatives. Whether your focus is IT, sustainability, quality, or compliance, the meetup offers a space to connect with peers who face similar hurdles and opportunities. 

Why you don’t want to miss it

  • Access insights from peers who are already implementing Catena-X solutions
  • Connect with potential partners for joint initiatives across the value chain
  • Gain early feedback on technical and organizational challenges
  • Build a trusted, long-term network beyond traditional industry boundaries 

A community built on open exchange 

Catena-X succeeds when suppliers align on standards, processes, and shared practices. These meetups are designed to strengthen peer-to-peer communication as a key lever for ecosystem acceleration. 

As Hanno Focken, Managing Director Operations, Governance & Scaling at Catena-X Automotive Network e.V., explains: 

“Open and anti-trust supplier-to-supplier communication is the foundation for scaling Catena-X across the value chain. Real progress happens when peers learn from each other and align on standards, processes, and collaboration. These meetups will help unlock that momentum. T-Systems is playing a vital role in driving this forward.” 

The first supplier-to-supplier meetup will take place in Munich, with plans to expand to other regions of Germany, the USA, and China. 

This is just the beginning: Stay tuned! 

Exciting updates about the first meetup, future dates, and new regional launches are coming soon. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this growing community and help shape the future of Catena-X.
