Abstract This paper introduces and explores triple-use innovation, a novel conceptual framework that extends beyond the established dual-use paradigm by embedding sustainability as a core dimension within innovation processes. Whereas dual-use research traditionally focuses on the civilian–military duality, triple-use innovation integrates civil, military, and sustainability domains from the outset. It…

Abstract Recent academic contributions explore the integration of Digital Twins (DTs) within smart Product-Service System (sPSS). This integration aims to innovate business propositions, hardware and services. However, gaps persist in developing DT environments to support early-stage collaborative innovation for sPSS, and limited studies explore how real-time synchronized digital replicas enhance…

Abstract The manufacturing sector is witnessing a paradigm shift toward servitization, where companies are transitioning from selling products to offering product–service systems. This shift creates additional challenges, where the providers must ensure the expected value throughout the operational phase of the solution. Especially when dealing with a system-of-systems (SoS), evaluating…
