The Story Behind DPP Hero
We make digital product passports accessible, for every manufacturer, not just enterprises.
Niels van Veen
Founder & CEO
Niels van Veen on LinkedInI'm a developer and problem solver. Simplifying complex processes is what drives me.
Self-employed for over 15 years, first as a DJ for clients like Mercedes-Benz, Vodafone, and E.ON, then moving into tech with software and web design in 2022.
From February 2027, every industrial and EV battery needs a digital product passport. New regulation, new requirements, a lot of uncertainty, and barely any tools that make it easy for manufacturers to get started. So I built DPP Hero in 2025.
Mission
Digital product passports should be accessible to every manufacturer, not just corporations with their own IT department. DPP Hero makes getting started as simple as possible: capture data, manage it, export it. No implementation project, no consultants.
Vision
Regulation is getting more complex. We're building DPP Hero so manufacturers don't need months-long projects or external service providers. Self-service, standards-based, ready to go.
