Weiterführt is the third-person singular present tense form of the German verb weiterführen, meaning to continue, carry on, or extend a process, project, or discussion. The base is weiterführen, a compound verb formed from weiter- (further, continued) and führen (to lead, manage). In standard German orthography, the finite present tense is written with the prefix separated: er führt weiter. The past participle is weitergeführt, and the infinitive is weiterführen.
