Turning away from the Hyperscalern ?
All the major players have also been working on building their own industrial clouds, mostly in cooperation with the major hyperscalers such as AWS, Microsoft and Google.

Cofinity-X’s vision is to power core applications of the Catena-X data ecosystem that enables the easy and rapid deployment of products and services in the automotive industry. The Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC) is one of the key technologies for sovereign data exchange between companies.
