TRACE4EU Consortium

TRACE4EU Consortium is a project co-funded by the European Commission aiming to design and implement solutions for trustworthy products and data traceability. The general objective of this project is to create an umbrella architecture based on existing EBSI services. The architecture builds the basis for the implementation of traceability application scenarios. Our pilot is focused on the traceability of products to ensure the trustworthy proof of origin of European products e.g. Seafood, Agri-food, Halloumi, and Battery. Additionally, TRACE4EU will develop and test solutions for the secure traceability of transactions and documents to make processes in decentralized ecosystems evident against 3rd parties including their long-term preservation. The Traceability addresses the tracking requirements of physical products, documents and data but also product owners on trusted business-to-business interactions. This process includes the physical (pre-) products and materials that will be shipped and further processed in factories or manufacturing plants as well as the arrival of products to consumers. The traceability of the involved data and documents ensures the non-repudiation of digital transactions as well as secure data sharing cross-border As a result TRACE4EU will provide technical pilots to fulfill requirements on burden of proof and cybersecurity in decentralized ecosystems using EBSI.
