Company Profile BAWA Tech (Wangi Lai PLT) is a social-tech startup behind the BAWA Cane – a smart white cane for the visually impaired. Founded in Kuching in 2019, the team created a clip-on IoT module that attaches to traditional white canes, enabling obstacle detection (including head-height obstacles) and fall alerts via sensors and internet connectivity. Inspired by the founders’ late grandmother’s blindness, BAWA Cane’s mission is to empower the visually impaired with technology for safer mobility. The device uses ultrasonic sensors and AI to alert users to hazards, filling a gap unaddressed by standard canes or expensive guide dogs. BAWA Tech, supported by Infineon’s co-innovation space and local incubators, is pioneering assistive tech solutions from Sarawak for global impact.
