The Story Behind DPP Hero
We make digital product passports accessible — for every manufacturer, not just enterprises.
Niels van Veen
Founder & CEO
I'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.
