Pilot Updates

IV Discover is being developed through real-world use. Participant experience helps us identify what works, what needs improvement and how Industrial Visibility should evolve.

These updates share what we are learning and improving through the Open Pilot.

Open Pilot Update — September 2026

The IV Discover Open Pilot is now active. Early real-world use is already helping us improve the platform.

Participant experience has helped us identify and correct issues in the organisation registration journey and clarify how participants return to an existing registration.

We are also learning how different types of organisations describe their activities and capabilities, and how economic activity classifications relate to the capability framework. These insights will support further improvement of both the taxonomy and the registration experience.

Thank you to everyone participating in the Open Pilot. Registrations, searches, feedback and real-world use are helping shape the next iteration of Industrial Visibility.

What we learned

Clear continuity matters: participants need an obvious way to return to registration work they have already started.

What we improved

We improved the organisation registration journey and clarified how participants continue an existing registration.

What we are exploring next

We are examining how organisation activities, economic activity classifications and industrial capabilities can be described more clearly without treating them as the same thing.

Your participation makes a difference.

Every registration, search and piece of feedback helps us understand how Industrial Visibility works in real-world use and where it can be improved.
