Supporting SMEs with Digital Product Passport readiness
DIGITRACE helps SMEs, educators and industry stakeholders build the skills, tools and knowledge needed for digital traceability, compliance and sustainable product management.
Preparing SMEs for a new era of product transparency
Digital Product Passports will change how products are documented, traced and understood across value chains. Many SMEs need support to understand requirements, build internal competence and adopt practical digital solutions.
