As part of the Manufacturing-X initiative to create trusted data spaces for manufacturing industry, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) is funding the Decide4ECO consortium project to the tune of 7.3 million euros. The consortium of partners from the world of science, IT solution providers and industrial companies, headed up by PROSTEP, recently received confirmation of the grant. The project, which will run for two and a half years, will address the question of how products can be developed and manufactured in a more sustainable manner and how this sustainability can be evaluated. A large proportion of the resources that a product consumes over the course of its lifetime is determined during product development. And that is exactly where Decide4ECO comes into play. The aim of the research project is to develop methods and tools that support decision-making early in the product development process with a view to
