Meet the GXFS-DE team and shape the future data infrastructure

GXFS develops the software components necessary to set up a federated system that interconnects several Participants with each other, aiming to develop new data-driven services and innovative products. Such ecosystems consist of joined interconnected data and infrastructure ecosystems, aggregated in so-called Federations that are individually orchestrated and operated with the help of Federation Services.

Together with the Federal Ministry for Economics and Climate Action the project team of Gaia-X Federation Services will be present as an exhibitor at the Hannover Messe. From 17-21 April 2023, visitors will find us at the joint booth ‘Plattform Industrie 4.0’ in hall 8, booth D26. This year we are looking forward to presenting you hands-on GXFS demos showcasing how the individual GXFS components can be integrated and used for industry-oriented scenarios.  

Focus areas:

  • Dealing with decentralized identities according to SSI concept
  • Management of complex description objects (service description, product pass) with search, display and verification of credentials
  • Management of notarization requests and issuing of digital, legally-binding and trustworthy credentials
  • Sample Onboarding of Participants (Consumer or Provider) on the example of Catena-X using the Workflow Engine out of the GXFS toolbox

In addition, our experts will be available to answer questions on different panels:

  • 19 April from 11:45 a.m. (location tba): Panel “Towards a Federated Industry Data Ecosystem”
  • 21 April from 10:55 a.m. in hall 8, booth D17: Panel “Gaia-X: Federated data infrastructures as a lever for the digitalisation of European industry”

In the meantime, don`t hesitate to contact us for preliminary inquiries: info@gxfs.de
