LGU+ is partnering with data space specialist IBCT to assist domestic manufacturers in responding to European supply chain data regulations. 
 
On September 28, LGU+ announced the establishment of a strategic partnership with IBCT and the launch of a joint project related to the 'Catena-X' initiative. 

Catena-X is a data-sharing ecosystem involving global manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. Participating companies can maintain control over their data while exchanging key regulatory information in a standardized manner. 

Recently, Europe has tightened regulations concerning product production history and raw material sourcing information across the supply chain. For domestic manufacturers looking to engage with European firms, managing data in compliance with these standards has become a critical challenge. 

The two companies plan to launch an integrated support system for businesses wishing to adopt Catena-X, offering assistance throughout the entire process, including consultation, membership, system setup, infrastructure provision, and service operation. 

IBCT is the only domestic partner of Cofinity-X, the operator of the Catena-X commercial service, and will support domestic companies in joining and onboarding to Catena-X, as well as in system implementation. 

LGU+ will provide the necessary cloud, communication, and security infrastructure for stable service operation, and will support consulting, implementation, and operation of Catena-X for corporate clients. 

Kwon Geun-seob, head of the customer group at LGU+, stated, "We will support domestic manufacturers in the stable adoption of Catena-X based on LGU+'s customer base and capabilities in cloud, network, and security."
