The European Union’s push for stricter battery regulations is driving demand for secure, standardized data-sharing frameworks in manufacturing. Industry leaders argue that an open, collaborative ecosystem—combined with trusted data—will be essential for compliance and unlocking next-generation industrial AI applications. Without seamless data integration, companies risk falling behind in efficiency and innovation. The shift could redefine how automotive and tech sectors approach supply chain transparency and automation.
Catena-X Managing Director Hanno Focken explains why trusted data and an open ecosystem are key to meeting EU battery rules and advancing industrial AI.
