Ecosystem
    ECOSYSTEM

    Infrastructure is built with the ecosystem — not against it.

    We don't buy or sell materials ourselves: no competing interest with the operators, associations, and researchers we work alongside.

    How we work with the ecosystem

    Three lanes, one direction.

    Policy & working groups

    We contribute to consultations and position papers of the associations we belong to.

    Research consortia

    We co-lead and participate in EU/Horizon and EIT-funded R&D projects with European universities.

    Data standards

    We participate in Catena-X and align our data model with emerging circular-economy standards.
