Traveling and flying has become much cheaper in the last few years. But why is parking at the airports still so expensive? And if you have found a cheap parking spot, how do you know if the parking is reliable and fair? We thought it was time to help travelers answer these questions, and create a transparent offer. That's the reason we started Parkos. At Parkos, we help travelers with finding the best parking space near the airport. Just as Airbnb has no apartments and Uber does not own taxis, Parkos does not have its own parking spaces. We play a mediating role in the market between supply and demand. We do this in about 15 countries with 80 colleagues based in the city center of Groningen. Since we are an international company, colleagues with 9 different nationalities are working here at Parkos and mostly we speak English with each other. For example, we have colleagues who come from Italy, France, Poland, the USA, and Germany. Diversity is important to us. That is why we not only have colleagues with different nationalities but also the distribution between women and men is equal. With Parkos we have won several awards in the last few months, because we are one of the fastest-growing e-commerce platforms in the Netherlands and know how to increase our turnover considerably year after year. We are the market leader in the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and Belgium. In 2019 we made a start in Australia and America. Of course, we have the ambition to go further into the world. You see: Parkos is an international company with great ambitions. Something that is also evident from our recently won FD Gazelle and our 9th place in the list of Fast 50 of fastest-growing tech companies.
