Digital Product Passport will be the focus of new CoE-DPP

On February 5, at day 2 of the Data Sharing Festival 2025, we announced the kick-off of a special Digital Product Passport track within the CoE-DSC, as CoE-DPP. Simon de Jong (Beleidsadviseur Digitale Economie, Ministerie van Economische Zaken) was proud to present this as an outcome of a meeting with 5 Dutch ministeries, the EC and organisations like the Dutch Customs.

From March 2025 onwards, CoE-DPP will look into interoperability for Digital Product Passports, to discover e.g. common specifications. And we will focus on several use cases. Please keep an eye on our website in this coming March!
