Topolog ical superconductors exhibit exotic Majorana modes at the boundaries and v ortices\, and can provide important applications in quantum computing. In addition to usual path of &ldquo\;engineering&rdquo\; topological supercon ductivity with heterostructure of conventional superconductors\, we show t hat intrinsic topological superconductivity can also be naturally realized through electron-electron interactions. Specifically\, we analyze the top ological superconducting state that emerges near the onset of an inversion -breaking electronic order. Other than topological superconductivity\, we show that the system has an enhanced U(1)xU(1) symmetry as well as a rich phase diagram. We address the relevance of our results with recent experim ents in Cd2Ce2O7 and half-Heusler superconductors. We argue that important progress can be made at the intersection of topological superconductivity and unconventional superconductivity.
