As part of the Manufacturing-X initiative to create trusted data spaces for manufacturing industry, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) is providing funding to the Decide4ECO consortium project headed up by PROSTEP. The project will address the question of how products can be developed and manufactured in a more sustainable manner and how this sustainability can be evaluated. Integration in data ecosystems plays a key role in this context.
