Company car parks stand empty outside of normal working hours. ParkBee, an ESA BIC Noordwijk incubatee, thinks that’s a great shame. In cooperation with the parking apps Parkmobile and Park-line, it is making office building car park spaces accessible to the public. ParkBee is receiving a capital injection of €1.8 million from four informal investors and InnovationQuarter, the regional development agency for province of South Holland. The investment will speed up international expansion, not least in the UK. This marks InnovationQuarter’s tenth investment this year.
