We scale data ecosystems – for a connected, sustainable, and resilient industry!

While the funded projects SCALE-MX and Transfer-X provide cross-industry information and networking on data spaces and digital value networks, Next Level Mittelstand focuses on the hands-on empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Together, these initiatives create a strong foundation for SMEs to unlock data-driven business models and drive innovation forward.

Sustainability

Data ecosystems are a crucial driver of a sustainable industry: They enable companies to enhance energy and resource efficiency through data-driven optimization and establish circular economy models. By securely utilizing and connecting data across companies and borders, innovative solutions emerge that foster resilient and sustainable value creation – fully in line with "Energizing a Sustainable Industry."

Future Outlook

In the coming years, scaling data ecosystems will play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable industrial solutions. Our goal: To support SMEs and the German industry on their journey to becoming digital champions by 2030 and to strengthen their long-term competitiveness.
