Abstract: Abstract Digital platforms interconnect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to facilitate their demand-driven collaboration for tendering and manufacture, which calls for changes in their business models. We define what a collaborative business model is in the context of SME manufacturing, layout aviation, and automotive collaborative business models developed during the EU-funded project DIGICOR (2016–2019) and generalize the collaborative business model for the ‘platform of platforms’ to support the development of Industry 4.0 in the European Union. In particular, this model supports SMEs working in ‘lot size of one’ and circular economy manufacturing.
