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.

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.
