A seminar and workshop for companies, NGOs and public organisations in Sweden. Frugal innovations aim at doing more and better with less. It can be a low-tech clay fridge or a high-tech portable ultrasound medical device. Regardless of technological sophistication and maturity, frugal innovations are perfectly suitable in a low...
Abstract The engineering rationale, composed of established logic for the design and development of products, has been confronted by a shift to a circular economy. Digitalization (e.g., Industry 4.0) enables transformation, but it also increases relational complexities in scope and number. In Product–Service Systems (PSSs), the combination of manufactured goods...
