What is SCALE-MX
SCALE-MX is the transfer initiative of Manufacturing-X. Our aim is to demonstrate the benefits of the Manufacturing-X industrial data ecosystem to users, suppliers and multipliers and to motivate them to get involved.
We explain the Manufacturing-X data ecosystem in a clear and practical way. To this end, we organize congresses, forums, workshops and online formats to engage with users, providers and multipliers. We are in close contact with the X projects, prepare their use cases for specific target groups and communicate them to a broad audience, especially SMEs.
SCALE-MX is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and is an association of VDMA, ZVEI, Niedersachsen Next, Bayern Innovativ, DIHK Service GmbH and WIK under the leadership of VDMA and ZVEI.
