In his greeting for the Industrie 4.0 Conference Stage at the Hannover Messe, for which he has assumed the patronage this year, Federal Minister Dr. Robert Habeck emphasizes that Industrie 4.0, which was first introduces at the Hannover Messe a good ten years ago, has now become a global success. Since its launch, the term and the associated initiative have spread worldwide.

In addition, Habeck sees Manufacturing-X as the next important step towards the realization of a global and cross-industry data ecosystem. After Catena-X, Factory-X and Aerospace-X are now also demonstrating how data ecosystems work. It is now a matter of spreading Manufacturing-X and making it usable for small and medium-sized companies.

Habeck also emphasizes the commitment to cooperation at an international level. After all, it is essential to understand Manufacturing-X as an internationally jointly designed process in order to establish globally functioning data ecosystems.
