This conceptual article aims to delve into the transformative potential of Innovation 5.0 in reshaping platform business model (PBM). The article adopts a conceptual approach, drawing upon a comprehensive review of relevant academic literature, exploring key concepts of platforms, platform enterprises, platform business model, and platform economy. Further, it leverages the tenets of Innovation 5.0, as articulated through the Sextuple Helix Model, to reshape the Platform Business Model Canvas (PBMC).

This transformation empowers SMEs, improves user experiences, promotes sustainability, fosters collaboration, and accelerates economic growth.
