Ignitec recognises the challenges faced by start-ups and companies based around revolutionary, early stage technology. It’s an exhilarating journey, fraught with obstacles – but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We are here to facilitate your voyage from the infancy of an idea to a mature, market-ready product.

From Idea to Investor Confidence

Our multi-disciplinary team of industrial designers, mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, and software developers are experts at quickly translating your ideas into solid proof-of-concepts. This tangible evidence of your project’s potential is invaluable when seeking investor backing.

Low-cost Prototypes, Maximum Value

Budget restrictions are common for start-ups, but we firmly believe that these shouldn’t hinder your innovation. Ignitec offers the development of high-quality, low-cost prototypes. By presenting your technology in a real-world context, these prototypes are crucial for gaining user feedback and investor confidence.
