Vision & Guiding Principles

Consensus of the pioneers: Significant need for action to meet the challenges of the automotive industry. Creation of a German / European

investment in interoperable and secure information exchange and network-based services.

Alliance Vision: Provisioning of a user-friendly environment for building, operating and collaborating on end-to-end data chains along the entire

(automotive) value chain.

Guiding principle: Collaborative approach to selecting and implementing scalable, system-relevant use cases. Covering the entire value chain of

the automotive industry, regardless of company size.

Security & Openness: Openness and non-discriminatory access to the network as the overriding principle for all market participants.

Implementation of data sovereignty, security & interoperability principles based on GAIA-X & concepts of IDSA.

Openness to technology: Openness and interoperability of the technology landscape (multi-tech approach). Based on standards, a solution

portfolio of certified, network-based applications and solutions is created.

Industry standards: Validation of the GAIA-X principles and management of industry-specific requirements by the association. Open exchange

for the Catena-X standards and certifications with industry-relevant standardization bodies where appropriate.
