International Manufacturing-X: Make Data Work

Over the coming years, the entire value chain will become increasingly integrated and supported by digitalization, from product, production, and process design to on-site customer service and circularity. No country, no initiative, no company can achieve this on its own. International Manufacturing-X (IMX) will implement a federated, decentralized, and collaborative data ecosystem for smart manufacturing to support greater resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness.
