About
The huge deficit of parking spaces, common in every city, intrigued us to design Green City Parking, providing for: •decongestion of streets and pavements, •electricity production exploiting renewable energy sources, •CO2 absorprion from atmosphere, •creation & multiplication of parking spots, •making the most of all unused plots > 35sqm, •integrated parking management. Solutions against: •Traffic jam in pursuit of parking. •Air & noise pollution. •Street occupation leading to low speed & high fuel costs. •Pavement occupation & obstruction of pedestrians and cleaning crew. •Stress & waste of precious time. •High parking cost. In times of public socioeconomic and health crises, the imperative use of private car instead of public transport has turned cars into trouble. “Green City Parking”, installed over and under ground, responds to all these issues and applies to: -Existing parkings in need of expansion. -Airports, train and metro stations, ports etc. -Health centers, malls, trade fairs and stadiums. -Touristic POI’s. -Tiny or large plots, offering excellent, low risk investment prospects. -Hotels, industries, commercial and cultural facilities during large scale events. With awareness & high sense of respect for the citizens and their habitat, Green City Parking provides a reliable solution to the existing global problem of parking spaces deficit, in favor of life quality, creating investment low risk and high - quick IRR opportunities, contributing to sustainable society.
Solution & Product
Green City Parking integrates a metallic tower with a central server and end-user smart app achieving parking management with use of Artificial Intelligence. Installed either over or under ground, the suspended car platforms are mobilized through rotary motion, multiplying parking spots occupying minimum ground. In place of 2 parked cars, now 8 to 16 vehicles can park. -Installed in big or tiny plots within the urban network, relieves congested areas. -Prefabricated, all of its parts are rapidly shipped globally. The installation and operation is carried out by a certified team in less than one week. It can be dismantled and reinstalled elsewhere and is fully recyclable. -Its foundation is also prefabricated and shallow with depth
Innovation & Scalability
Innovative features: -Elegant industrial design, use of lighter & recyclable materials. -Minimal foundation depth, tiny coverage area (34m2), zero step flat access. -Installed in large or tiny plots, over or underground, multiplying parking spaces. -Rapid automatic check in/out (3-5'). -Ecosystem with multiple facilities (interconnection with e-micromobility means and public transport, EV charging, car service, micro PDO/clothing/recreation stores). -Reduced risk, high IRR gradual investment, through gradual addition of Green City Parking towers. -Tracking, best price selection, pre-booking of available parking slots, e-pay and navigation, via Green City Parking smart app. -Dynamic price fluctuation based on demand prediction (machine learning & AI). -Interoperability with all parking SW & HW, towards fully integrated parking management. Scalability: The size of the new parking (management) market is proven to be limitless and, along with the ingenious nature of our products and services, is promising further commercialization, leading to investments for the upgrading of our: - production line with robotic equipment reducing production costs and enhancing productivity. - R&D department which among others will process new cladding eco-materials and low friction drive chain. After setting up our representatives’ network, an extensive franchise network will further expand the distribution of our innovative products and services.
Traction & achievements
1) We have applied to join the top European program for innovative products, “E.I.C./Horizon Accelerator 2021”. In October 2021 we passed the STEP 1 evaluation successfully achieving “4/4 green GO", now submitting Step 2. Our products acquire European certification and financial support for the dynamic entrance to the market. 2) Our research and development department has been partnering with world-class research and academic centers, of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), the Center for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), the University of Macedonia Greece (UoM) and the International Hellenic University (IHU). Our six academia partners are the: -Physical Metallurgy Lab of MEng Dept. (AUTh). -Lab of Structural Analysis & Dynamics of Structures of the Civil Engineering Dept. (AUTh). -Information Technologies Institute (CERTH). -Dept. of Information and Electronic Engineering (IHU). -Lab of Behavioral Engineering & Analytics for Marketing Management of Business Administration Dept. (UoM). -Additive Manufacturing Lab ( AML) of the Dept. of Chemistry of the School of Sciences (IHU). Green City Parking holds IPR while taking advantage of academia credibility and certification. 3) 6 innovation patents (1 granted & 5 pending). 4) CE & ISO certified. 5) Registered brand name & logo. 6) Contractual pre-agreements with public and private sector. 7) Early adopters (funds and angels already approached us).

Funding Needs
Texnokat Group Companies have been standing out in the global market and pioneering in the ingenious industrial machinery manufacturing for 44 years. Green City Parking, as member of the ecosystem, uses their production line and know-how. Thus: 1. The working capital needed does not exceed €2mil.,given that the commercial activity and the deposits will partially cover the production process and operational costs. 2. Funding the R&D dept. with €4-5mil. within 2 years is necessary and will enable us to: - develop new revolutionary cladding eco-materials which will add value to the parking tower and - upgrade the production line with robotic equipment, which will reduce the production cost and significantly increase our productivity. 3. €3-5mil. will fund Green City Parking participation of up to 15% in the corporate capital of new parking projects, enabling for: - a long lasting share of our company to the earnings of our own products throughout their life cycle, - the quality monitoring of the provided services, and - the establishment of our brand name through the positive response to our products and services. The exploitation of our products and services will be implemented via a widespread franchise network. Green City Parking provides an industrial, innovative, electromechanical system that multiplies parking spaces in the urban network. It achieves innovative integrated parking space management via A.I. in the smart city context.
