cross-company data exchange

In order to cope with growing customer requirements and the associated increase in complexity, companies are opening up their value chains, reducing their vertical integration and increasingly entering into collaborations. Cross-company data exchange along the supply chain is thus becoming a key component for competitiveness and the realization of customer-specific solutions. For this reason, the European Union has launched the GAIA-X project, which aims to create the next generation of data infrastructure for Europe and its companies. The GAIA-X maturity model offers an approach for classifying companies into different development stages and provides concrete requirements for further development along a predefined development path towards becoming a fully-fledged participant in the federated GAIA-X data infrastructure.
