Industry 5.0 seeks continuous innovations driven by creative and resilient workers who embody sustainable and human values. Frugal innovation plays a vital role in constructing a more responsible, inclusive, creative, and human-centered industry, thereby consolidating the conceptual foundation of Industry 5.0. Consequently, it is essential to understand the elements that can facilitate the development of frugal innovation within this context by investigating the ecosystem that supports it. This track invites scholars to contribute to an understanding of how managers and workers can promote a more creative, responsible, smart and humanized industry.
