1. Technology overview
Spherity GmbH is a German technology company founded in 2017 that builds digital product passports and digital identity solutions based on decentralised identifiers and verifiable credentials. Its products address regulated supply chains, from EU battery and product rules to US pharmaceutical compliance.
VERA lets companies create, manage and publish digital product passports from prebuilt templates and generate QR codes that resolve to passport data. Access is split into public, restricted and selectively shared data using verifiable credentials, with rights granted to EU authorities and parties with a legitimate interest. VERA supports EU Business Wallets (eIDAS 2.0) and white-label deployment. Its battery passport, built with RCS Global, is Catena-X certified.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Passport builder: Digital product passports are created from prebuilt industry templates.
- QR resolution: Generated QR codes link each product to its passport data.
- Tiered access: Public, restricted and selectively shared data is controlled with verifiable credentials.
- Authority access: EU authorities and legitimate-interest parties receive granted access rights.
- EU Business Wallet: Organisation identities follow eIDAS 2.0 wallet standards.
- Supplier due diligence: The battery passport collects supplier due diligence reports.
3. Potential application
Vietnamese battery and EV component suppliers can publish Catena-X compatible passports for European automakers. Tyre and furniture exporters can pilot passports ahead of ESPR delegated acts. Electronics manufacturers can share restricted compliance data only with authorised EU parties.
4. Benefits
Verifiable credentials let manufacturers share sensitive data only with authorised parties such as regulators and recyclers. Prebuilt templates shorten the time to launch a compliant passport. Catena-X certification eases data exchange with automotive and battery partners in Europe. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II attestations support enterprise security reviews.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Battery passports become mandatory in the EU in February 2027 and ESPR will extend passports to textiles, tyres, furniture and electronics, while data sovereignty concerns favour credential-based sharing. Vietnamese suppliers to European automotive and battery supply chains will increasingly need to exchange data through ecosystems such as Catena-X.
