We believe every big breakthrough starts with a spark of inspiration. The Innovation Foundation, created by WIN SOURCE, exists to nurture that spark.
We know the road from an idea to a working prototype is tough. That’s why we provide what’s often the missing link: the components that turn a bold idea into a tangible reality.
Our mission
Empower innovation: Give life to fresh ideas with the essentials you need.
Encourage first steps: Equip hardware beginners with the confidence and resources to keep building.
Advance technology: Transform new concepts from labs and workbenches into reality.

How it works
Just five simple steps to get support:
Apply online – Share your project and the parts you need.
Completeness Check – We make sure your application has all the info we need.
Expert review – Our engineers evaluate the project's creativity, feasibility, and potential impact to determine the support we can offer.
Get components – From our available stock; if exact matches aren’t possible, we’ll suggest close alternatives.
Share your journey – Send a short report or video. Great projects may be featured to inspire others.
Do you give out money? Do I need to pay?
No fees at all. We mainly provide free components and advice. If funding’s needed, you can apply and we’ll review it.
Can individuals apply?
Absolutely. Show us your idea—or have a reference—and you’re welcome.
Can one team apply for multiple projects?
Yes. Each project is reviewed separately, and support depends on its scope.
Can I request specific parts?
Yes. We’ll try to provide them. If not possible, we’ll recommend close alternatives.
How much support can I get?
It depends on your project and the review outcome.
How long does it take?
There are four rounds each year — one per quarter. Results usually come out 1–2 months after the application deadline.
What if my application isn’t accepted?
You can reapply in the next round, just make sure your project shows clear updates or improvements.
Do I have to submit a report?
Yes — it’s a simple way to share your journey and inspire others.
Will my report be used for business?
No. Reports are for learning and sharing. If we’d like to showcase your work, we’ll ask first and protect any sensitive details.
Innovation should never stop for lack of resources.
At WIN SOURCE, we want to share what we have so more people can test, build, and grow.
Don’t let missing components hold your vision back. With the right parts in your hands, your spark can grow into something that moves the world forward. This is where it begins — and we’re here to help make it real.
