EU Business Wallet and Digital Product Passport: Why the Integration Matters for Compliance and Trust
Aug 19, 2026
The EU Business Wallet (EBW, under eIDAS 2.0 from 2027) verifies who a company is. The Digital Product Passport (DPP, under the ESPR) verifies what is inside a product. Both proofs rely on verifiable credentials and belong together technically: a DPP is only as trustworthy as the identity of the party that issued it. Companies that address both requirements on the same standards base, rather than separately, avoid duplicate infrastructure and are prepared for the next wave of regulation.
