Enlivening public spaces with sculpture

Initial Situation

Outstanding product in search of a business plan

Norbert Roztocki possesses an incredibly wide range of creative talents. He is a photographer, a journalist, a painter, a sculptor and a designer. All these talents created a completely new concept of how public spaces are shaped – moveart. Enlivening sculptures, which unite people of all generations in public spaces and also meet the highest standards of design and aesthetic appeal.

However, like many other company founders, Norbert Roztocki was on his own and simply could not provide all the expertise and skills needed to grow his business. Generis AG provided the answer, sharing its expertise and experience with SMEs.

Approach

A Base, Strategy & Business Development

Once the main business partner for the main market – Switzerland – had been found, moveart needed to professionalise its structures and business processes and turn its attention to developing internationally. Generis AG assisted in prioritising market priorities, undertook a targeted search for partners and found them. Strong fundamentals were established with a clear mission statement and marketing communications were taken to the next level.

New approaches were pursued to raise awareness of the product, including appearing in a tv programme in which a new entrepreneur is interrogated by highly experienced potential investors.

Achievements

Everything is ready for the next steps

By the close of 2019, moveart had placed almost 100 sculptures in Switzerland and abroad, proof of the products’ suitability and durability for everyday use. The company has also won several prestigious Design Awards, including the German Design Award and the European Product Gold Award.

Further partnerships have been established in England, Scandinavia and Germany. A professional Supervisory Board has been set up and funders from the first round have extended their involvement. Key investments can be met via equity funding. There are no barriers to future growth.
