GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

The European GS1 community gathered in Copenhagen for four inspiring days filled with insights, networking, and Danish innovation.
“It’s a wrap!”
That was the word as GS1 Regional Forum 2025 concluded after four eventful days in Copenhagen.
This year, 650 representatives from 66 GS1 member organizations participated, collectively completing over 40 sessions and building a strong foundation for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and future innovation across industries and borders.
”We leave Copenhagen with renewed energy, stronger connections, and the shared belief that, together, we are better equipped to face the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
Jan Somers, GS1 in Europe Chair.
As hosts of this year's forum, GS1 Denmark had the opportunity to showcase how Danish members translate GS1 standards into tangible business value.
Several presentations clearly demonstrated how Denmark is at the forefront when it comes to implementation and innovation using global standards:
Thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge and practical experience.
And, of course, a big thank you to all other speakers, participants, and colleagues for the commitment, collaboration, and energy throughout all four (intense) days.
We are already looking forward to next year's Regional Forum – at a new location in Europe.

GTIN (also known as EAN) stands for “Global Trade Item Number” and is the number sequence shown beneath a barcode symbol.
GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.
A GLN (also known as EAN) allows you to uniquely identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This can include the sender, receiver, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, billing location, store, or internal departments.
