LG Uplus signed a Korea Manufacturing Data Trust Ecosystem Agreement with Catena-X, Cofinity-X and IBCT on Nov. 11 to build a trusted data ecosystem for South Korea’s manufacturing sector. The initiative is intended to help domestic manufacturers participate in global supply-chain data standards and exchanges covering information such as carbon emissions, parts production and production history. The parties plan to connect Korea’s K-Data Space with global ecosystems including Catena-X, expand domestic participation, link companies across supply chains and develop local use cases. LG Uplus will contribute telecommunications, cloud, security and system-integration capabilities, while Cofinity-X supports participation and data exchange and IBCT provides domestic data-space expertise and technology support.
