CavinKare and MMA Honor Start-Ups at Innovation Awards
Imagine a contest that gives awards to new, cool ideas.
This happened in Chennai, India, where CavinKare and MMA gave out awards called the ChinniKrishnan Innovation Awards.
They found three amazing companies: one makes 3D printers for medicine, one makes wheelchairs with built-in toilets, and one creates a smart rainwater system.
These companies each got money and help to grow their ideas.
The goal of the awards is to help people who come up with new solutions for the world.
They have been happening every year since 2011!
