Pioneering Greeks – Taxibeat founders N. Drandakis, N. Damilakis, K. Sakkas, M. Sfiktos

Welcome to “Pioneering Greeks”, the new weekly column of GTP Headlines, which highlights the Greeks that stand out for their creative thinking in the business world. “Pioneering Greeks” is a collaboration between LoveGreece.com and Greek Travel Pages (GTP).

This week we introduce the founders of Taxibeat, an innovative application which was developed in 2011 and since then drastically changed the way taxi drivers operate in Greece.

Nikos Drandakis is the founder of Taxibeat, which he created it 2011 with his partners N. Damilakis, K. Sakkas and M. Sfiktos. Mr Drandakis, who has a great passion for technology, new media and blogging, identified the opportunity of creating the Taxibeat application, when he realized the rapidly increasing market of smart phones.

Now after only four years, Taxibeat has already expanded its operation in five countries, gained funds of millions euros and continues headlong!

Inspired by the dynamism and creativity of the Greek entrepreneurial spirit, LoveGreece was founded in 2013 as an initiative to boost and promote the country’s image abroad by profiling talented and successful Greeks. With their ethos and vision, Greece’s entrepreneurs and professionals are an important aspect of the country worth highlighting to the world. LoveGreece is powered by Gina Mamidaki, the founder of the G & A Mamidakis Foundation.
