The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) is proud to announce its role as the official North America hub for Catena-X — the first open, secure, and standardized data network for the entire automotive value chain. AIAG’s Chief Transformational Officer, Kevin Piotrowski, took the stage at this week's Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Digital Strategies North America event in Nashville, joined by Jon Jacobson, Enterprise Sales Leader at IBM and Catena-X Board Member to mark the occasion.
What is Catena-X?
Catena-X is like a secure digital highway that allows automotive companies of all sizes to easily and safely share important information. Instead of struggling with disconnected systems, Catena-X makes it simple for partners to exchange data, track parts, and solve problems together — helping everyone work faster, cut costs, and meet new requirements with confidence.
Data Security You Can Trust
Security is at the heart of Catena-X. Every company keeps full control over its own data, choosing what to share and with whom. All data exchanges are protected with industry-standard encryption and strict permission-based access, ensuring sensitive information stays safe. Catena-X also complies with leading data protection regulations, so collaboration never comes at the expense of security or compliance.
Why This Matters
By 2030, the automotive industry will need to trace over one billion data points globally to meet regulatory requirements, improve quality, and drive corporate responsibility. Fast and accurate data sharing is now essential. Catena-X eliminates silos by providing a unified network where OEMs, suppliers, and service providers can seamlessly collaborate, maintain control over their data, and use standardized protocols that reduce complexity.
Real-World Results
With Catena-X, companies can trace parts instantly, respond to quality issues in minutes instead of weeks, and avoid unnecessary recalls — saving time and resources while protecting their reputation.
AIAG’s Role
As the Catena-X North America hub, AIAG connects members with training, resources, and practical guidance to participate and succeed in this new ecosystem. By uniting the industry’s voices, AIAG ensures North American needs shape global solutions.
