Parkin Goes Global at UITP Summit in Hamburg, Showcasing Smart Parking Technology and Chairing New Parking Transformation Working Group

Parkin Company PJSC 'Parkin' or 'the Company', the largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services in Dubai, successfully concluded its participation in the 2025 UITP Summit, held in Hamburg, Germany. Marking a strategic milestone for Parkin, the world's largest public transport event represents the Company's first foray onto the international conference stage, reinforcing its position as a global leader in parking and urban mobility transformation.
Parkin, representing the United Arab Emirates UAE alongside Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority RTA, showcased its latest smart parking technology and operational systems, unveiled upcoming plans to integrate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, and provided live demonstrations of the Parkin mobile app.
As Dubai's exclusive public parking operator, managing more than 207,000 paid spaces, Parkin also exhibited its digital capabilities and forward-thinking innovations to both His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority-Dubai, and a wider, global audience, including next-generation AI-powered enforcement system prototypes, designed to integrate discreetly with lighting poles and traffic signage, supporting Dubai's visual identity and wider sustainability objectives.
In parallel, Parkin played a key strategic role in the UITP Summit's global agenda. Earlier in 2025, Parkin and UITP signed a strategic partnership to establish the Global Parking Transformation Working Group, which was officially launched at the Summit in Hamburg and chaired by Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin.
Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali Chaired the Global Parking Transformation Working Group's inaugural meeting, attended by global leaders from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, where discussions focused on positioning parking as a critical enabler of sustainable, integrated mobility, exploring AI-driven systems, while encouraging innovation sharing and the creation of a framework for impact measurement.
Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, CEO of Parkin and Chair of the UITP Global Parking Transformation Working Group, commented:
'Reshaping mobility to support greener, safer and more liveable cities requires a fundamental shift in how we think about parking infrastructure. At Parkin, we see our role as helping cities unlock this potential, by building the right platforms, enabling informed choices and reimagining parking as the driver of sustainable urban life.'
As the UITP Summit came to a close, it brought further international recognition to the UAE with the confirmation that Dubai will host the next edition in 2026—further positioning the Emirate and Parkin at the forefront of the future urban mobility landscape.
