Dear MOUAU Innovators,

We have some incredibly exciting news. There is a massive innovation discovery calls open right now, and we want our student community to take full advantage of them. Whether you are working on a tech solution, a creative project, or deep research, this is your time to showcase your work.

Here is everything you need to know:

 NextGen Innovation Challenge 2026 (NBTI)

The National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) is calling for market-ready, scalable solutions with clear commercial value across critical sectors like AI, Robotics, Agri-tech, Green Energy, and more. Selected innovators will receive incubation support and structured pathways to international markets.

Deadline: March 28, 2026

Important Advisory for NextGen Applicants: If you would like the hub to officially front your idea for the NextGen Innovation Challenge, please hold off on submitting your application. Wait until after the Mini-Buildathon this Saturday so we can properly align and structure your submission through the hub.

THIS SATURDAY: Mini Hackathon / Buildathon

To prepare for these opportunities, we are hosting a Mini Hackathon/Buildathon this Saturday.

The Goal: We will be brainstorming, building, and refining projects that the hub will officially front for the NextGen Innovation Challenge.

If you are developing a solution that you plan to submit entirely on your own, we still highly encourage you to proceed and apply individually to both the UniPod and NextGen challenges. However, if you want the hub's backing, be sure to attend this Saturday before taking any further steps.

If you have an project, research or prototype reach out to me or any of these numbers on whatsapp from this evening, lets set a meeting and start working on your project

Bring your ideas, your prototypes, and your research. Let’s build something amazing together.

See you on Saturday!
