Programme
Morning programme
Driven by European legislation, the Digital Product Passport (DPP) is becoming relevant to us all. But what exactly do these regulations require, how can DPP be implemented in practice, and who should you collaborate with?
National and international speakers will provide an up-to-date overview of developments: how to create value aligned with EU policy, and how the standardisation of data exchange supports the realisation of DPPs. Front-runners will share their experiences, successes and challenges.
Among others:
- NEN – Gunhild Otto, Consultant ICT and Mobility
- GS1 – Jan Merckx, Sustainability Project Lead
- HEMA – Ingmar Hensbergen, Manager MDM & Space
- Decathlon – Freek Snijders, Sustainability Leader Digital
- CoE-DPP – Sjoerd Rongen
Afternoon programme
Interactive break-out sessions will offer deeper insights into specific sectors (textiles, electronics, batteries and manufacturing), as well as topics such as implementation, DPP tooling and circular business models.
Choose the sessions that best fit your organisation.
Throughout the day, the foyer will host a dynamic exhibition area where organisations showcase cutting-edge DPP applications and solutions.
