## About

Based in London, UK, and founded in 2017 by its CEO Gokhan Mericliler, and co-founder Kursat Ceylan, WeWALK Limited operates as a provider of medical devices called "smart cane" for blind people. In July 2022, WeWALK Limited received EUR 1.7 million of grant funding led by UK Research and Innovation.

WeWALK Limited offers a smart cane with accessible mobility application developed by blind people with visually impaired and low vision. The company's smart cane has various features such as it vibrates to inform low-hanging obstacles, finding a current location, discovering, saving, and navigating to new locations, and voice assistant. The company's mobile application uses clock-based directions, destination tracking, and shows additional information such as intersections, stairs, and elevators. The WeWALK application is available on iOS and Android devices.

WeWALK Limited earns money by selling software subscriptions on a monthly and annual basis.

The company plans to use the grant funding to promote the use of computer vision-aided navigation and make its tech more accessible.
