Groeien met Groen Staal is a National Growth Fund initiative aimed at accelerating the sustainability of the Dutch steel sector. Through new technologies—such as use of green hydrogen, optimized production processes, and pilots for low-emission steel—the program works toward full CO₂ neutrality by 2050. One of its key focus areas is the development of Digital Product Passports (DPPs), supported by several demonstrators.

In this thematic meeting, we will introduce these developments, share practical insights, and explore opportunities to collaborate—so we can accelerate progress together. Through interactive breakout sessions, we will identify common themes to investigate further and lay the groundwork for future industry–academia collaborations in these areas.
