TaktiFloor is a Business SpinOff from freiraum-europa, specialized on planning, consulting and the implementation of Accessibility into Public Spaces. The foundation of TaktiFloor became necessary after an increasing demand for our work became visible in 2014 that made it difficult for a NPO to also run a "Business" besides all its other involvements. So I was asked by the other members of the Executive of freiraum-europa (which I am still a member of) if I would like to take on the challenge to build up a new Business from scratch. So I took on the challenge to build up the company, recruit a new team of Experts and put the idea into reality. You can find more information about the Team and the Projects we do on www.taktifloor.com
