Upcoming technologies as dataspaces need to be taken into account for future collaboration ie instead of point to point connectivity a peer to peer architecture should be used. In Europe with Gaia-X such technology is under development. In multiple branches pilot projects are under construction as Catena-X, Aerospace-X,  etc. Main use cases at the moment are related to sustainablity (Product Carbon Footprint, Digital Product Passport) but also Demand Capacity Management are covered. This impacts that whole supply chain need to be treated incl. raw material eg mining etc.

Especially in area of Manufacturing several projects as Factory-X, Aerospace-X etc. are ongoing and with International Manufacturing-X Council a global coordination has been started.
