An idea, innovation or research may be submitted through a form on the website www.ideas.msme.gov.in . This submission will then be evaluated by a team of government experts and will be published in public domain on the basis of its potential.

The online forms for Idea, innovation and research can be easily filled in 5-6 Minutes.

Users can choose his/her areas of sharing ideas – Credit/Finance, Human Capital Development, Technology, Infrastructure, Marketing, and Policy

Respective sector- Rural Technology Innovation, Waste-to-Wealth, Agro-Processing, Manufacturing, Services, Khadi, and Coir

It also has the facility to indicate the stage of Idea – concept, prototype or commercialized
