Overview
The next breakthrough doesn't begin with funding — it begins with an idea.
The MSME Idea Hackathon 6.0 is a national initiative under the Ministry of MSME that supports innovators building solutions in frontier technologies. Whether you're developing an AI platform, a robotics system, a renewable energy solution, or an Industry 4.0 innovation, this is your opportunity to take your idea forward.
To participate, you'll submit your application through the official MSME portal, where you'll describe your idea, choose a Host Institute, and complete the required application process. If your innovation is selected, it may receive funding and incubation support to help transform your concept into a working prototype.
But here's something most participants overlook: months of research, brainstorming, design iterations and prototypes often disappear once the application is submitted. Recruiters, founders and future collaborators never get to see the work behind the idea.
That's where Wooble comes in.
As you prepare your submission, build your Proof Brief on Wooble alongside it. Instead of uploading a single PDF, create a complete portfolio of your innovation by documenting the problem, your solution, your designs, your prototype, and your progress as the idea evolves.
When the hackathon is over, your work doesn't disappear inside an application portal. It becomes a permanent project in your professional portfolio — one you can keep sharing with recruiters, employers, mentors, and collaborators.
Think of the MSME portal as where you apply. Think of Wooble as where your innovation lives.
Please note: Wooble is promoting this opportunity to help innovators discover and showcase their work. Official applications, evaluations, and funding decisions are managed solely by the MSME Idea Hackathon organizers.
