NTT and Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne started together

Today, the Japan’s leading telecommunication company #NTT Communications, #NTT Software Innovation Center and #SIPBB started together a collaboration project on a global infrastructure for data sharing between businesses.

NTT is testing their innovative approach towards global data sharing between businesses at the Swiss Smart Factory (SSF) of SIPBB. The proof-of-concept (POC) is performed in the test and experimentation platform of SSF’s drone manufacturing line. The POC highlights the role of data sharing for a sustainable development and circular economy. SSF partner #SIEMENS is supporting the POC by integrating its Mindsphere platform as a central data hub.

Dominic Gorecky, head of SSF, says: “NTT is clearly recognizing the uniqueness of our Swiss Industry 4.0 ecosystem and our world-class test infrastructure. We are very happy to work with NTT as a globally leading telecommunication company on the future of data sharing, thereby linking our efforts with the recent activities of #GAIA‑X and the #International Data Space Association”.

The collaboration project was initiated by #Japan Innovation Park (JIP) – a joint-venture of SIPBB for establishing technology partnerships between Japan and Switzerland.
