How to Apply for MIDC Innovation Grand Challenge 2026 — ₹2 Crore Prize Pool

Applications are not judged purely on the strength of a pitch deck; they are first filtered for fit, then assessed by a jury.

• Initial screening — submitted applications are checked against the eligibility conditions and for alignment with the challenge themes.
• Pitch competition — shortlisted applicants may be invited to present their solutions in a pitch format to a jury made up of experts from MIDC and partner organisations.
• Jury evaluation — each solution is weighed on four counts: innovation, feasibility, impact, and readiness for implementation.
