Steven Houh, CEO of Citian, Inspires at the Lion Forum Sponsored by K Ventures

Steven Houh, PE, Founder and CEO of Citian, took center stage at the Lion Forum to share his insights on disability innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future of mobility. The Lion Forum, named in honor of Senator Ted Kennedy, is an invite-only event set in historic Hyannisport, MA. The Forum convenes premier tech startups alongside influential policymakers, investors, advocates, and fortune 500 business executives who are united in building a future where disability innovation draws the resources and attention it deserves. 

Among these leaders, Steven explained how Citian delves into the nationwide difficulty of meeting Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) and ADA compliance. Often a manual process involving measurements of sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps and more with a level and scale, the creation of a federally mandated inventory of barriers to accessibility can take decades and millions of dollars to complete. To combat the antiquated processes and expensive hurdles of the current compliance solutions, Citian offers an automated one leveraging AI and digital twin technology to fully meet PROWAG and ADA compliance at 30x the efficiency and quality – ultimately removing the mindless physical barriers to accessibility for all individuals no matter their mobility needs.
