Kuwait University, represented by the College of Science, in collaboration with Al-Sayer Group and Horizon Educational - Czech Republic, has announced the launch of the “H2GP PRO” Hydrogen Grand Prix program in the State of Kuwait.
This pioneering educational initiative focuses on hydrogen as a source of clean energy, as well as on sustainability technologies and renewable energy.
The H2GP PRO program is introduced within the framework of promoting applied education in the fields of engineering, innovation, clean energy, and hydrogen technology for high school and university students. The program involves the design and construction of 1:10 scale hydrogen fuel cell-powered race cars, which are then tested in endurance races lasting several hours. It forms part of a three-year pathway that includes training for teachers and students, technical support, and the organization of qualifying races leading to the global finals.
This competition aims to empower the next generation of students to acquire practical and engineering skills in clean energy and hydrogen fields, while fostering innovation, teamwork, and scientific competition. It also provides opportunities for students to represent Kuwait in the championship’s global finals, which will be held in Switzerland in June 2026.
This program represents a significant milestone, positioning Kuwait as the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to host this type of clean energy innovation race, thereby contributing to establishing the country as an educational and competitive hub in this field.
