Welcome to Ignition!

About Ignition!

Ignition was founded by a group of young Kuwaitis from various disciplines: Civil, Architectural, Electrical, and Computer. What brought these four together is a shared desire to take Kuwait to space through research, development, and education. To realize this goal, the four founders launched Ignition. Ignition is Kuwait's first ever Space Exploration Research & Development company. The purpose of Ignition is to lay the groundwork for the first Kuwaiti space program which will play a key role in the Kuwaiti scientific research field. Ignition’s vision is to support the growth of society in terms of research, education, leadership, community engagement, and innovation.
