Parksen is an easily adoptable Green, Smart and Connected City Platform that is accessible through a public API and runs entirely on the existing Parksen Parking Cloud. By utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, the IOTA Tangle and our own PARQ utility tokens, we will offer a variety of solutions and smart contracts that will directly benefit a wide spectrum of stakeholders within urban metropolises and smaller cities.
PARQ team aim to use an open and universal ledger to record and map data that will give us a picture of major chokepoints in urban areas. With that information we can continuously improve the flow of traffic and decrease carbon monoxide emissions and congestion, while replacing and renewing outdated technology and investing in smart parking solutions through IoT (Internet of Things) devices, green field appliances, a real-time parking app and universal dashboards.
PARQ currently has at least 19 people on its team with full of tech-savy veterans, city developers, legal counselors and marketeers. The biographies of Parksen’s key team members are summarized below:
1. Their CEO & Founder - Eddie Postma (Linkedin): As a veteran project manager and fearless internet entrepreneur, Eddie Postma has been building and maintaining enterprises for nearly three decades.

Parksen app and platform have been tested in the Netherlands. Their team have worked on digitizing small and big cities across the country, while keeping in mind the need to keep the cities efficient and green, so as to not ruin all of the beautiful nature. I believe this strong technical team has a good chance of pulling off this ambitious and highly technical project.
