With technology and a new approach to making better use of unused spaces, Dublin start up Parkpnp is aiming to shake up the parking industry in Europe, writes Trish Dromey.

Co founder and CEO Garret Flower says the original aim was to create an Airbnb parking equivalent by devising a system which allows residential parking spaces to be rented out, “but then I discovered that that most unused and under-used spaces were in the commercial sector,” he said explaining that the company has devised a platform that can be used to maximize usage of spaces in schools, offices, hotel car parks and people’s front driveways, as well as in existing car parks.
