About tagtu

Our story

tagtu was founded in 2021 by Michael Friedrich and Maxim Kahlert in Berlin. The initial idea was born more than 15 years ago and took shape over the years.

The more we spoke with business travellers and organizations recognizing the need for more efficient and sustainable travel, the more it became clear that building this platform needed to happen. 😉
