Provenant, Titera and ITP GmbH Partner to Bring Digital Product Passports to the Smart Textiles Industry

Provenant, a leading provider of Digital Product Passport (DPP) solutions, has announced a new partnership with two European experts in textile innovation: Titera from Slovenia and ITP GmbH from Germany. Both companies bring deep expertise in smart textiles, advanced materials and industry implementation, making them strategic partners in expanding the adoption of Digital Product Passports.  The collaboration will enable Titera and ITP GmbH to distribute Provenant’s Digital Product Passport platform to clients across the smart textiles sector, supporting businesses as they prepare for evolving regulatory requirements, Digital Product Passport mandates and growing market demand for transparency.

Titera, a technology consultancy with more than 20 years of experience in textile and clothing innovation, specialises in smart textiles and human–machine interaction. The company plays a key role in connecting research, manufacturing, and IoT stakeholders, helping organisations transform ideas into market-ready products.

Additionally, ITP GmbH complements this expertise with its strong engineering background in advanced materials, technical textiles and industrial process integration. The company works across research, development and prototyping, supporting the transition of innovative concepts into scalable applications.

The collaboration with Provenant will enable both Titera and ITP to distribute and implement Provenant’s DPP platform to serve clients throughout the smart textiles value chain. This will support businesses as they prepare for emerging EU regulatory requirements.

Digital Product Passports are set to transform how product information is shared, verified, and accessed across industries. In the field of smart textiles, where products often combine functional materials, electronic components and complex manufacturing processes, the ability to document and communicate traceability, sustainability, and compliance is especially valuable.

By combining Titera’s and ITP’s long-standing experience in smart textile technologies, product development and standardisation with Provenant’s robust DPP platform, the partnership offers smart textile companies a clear path to ESPR compliance while unlocking competitive advantage.

“Partnering with Titera and ITP allows us to bring the benefits of Digital Product Passports to a highly innovative sector that is already shaping the future of textiles,” said Matthew Ekholm, Strategic Engagements Manager for Circular Economy at Provenant. “Together, we can support businesses in meeting regulatory demands such as compliance with the ESPR while also helping them showcase the sustainability and innovation behind their products.”

Dr. Daniela Zavec, Founder of Titera, added: “Smart textiles combine creativity, technology and functionality, but they also bring complexity. By working with Provenant, and now together with ITP, we can help our clients navigate these challenges, providing them with a practical Digital Product Passport solution that enhances transparency, supports product development, and strengthens trust across the value chain.”

The partnership highlights the increasing importance of cross-sector collaboration in developing a comprehensive DPP ecosystem that meets industry-specific needs. For the smart textiles sector, it represents a timely opportunity to prepare for upcoming obligations while positioning the industry as a leader in innovation and sustainability.
