ParkBee and EasyPark Expand Partnership into Belgium's Major Cities

Expanding seamless parking across Belgium

We're thrilled to announce an exciting extension of the partnership between EasyPark and ParkBee, now expanding into Belgium's major cities. This strategic move brings together two leaders in smart parking solutions to transform how Belgian drivers find and access parking in urban centers.

This collaboration offers EasyPark users seamless access to ParkBee's network of off-street parking options, tailored to provide the best and most affordable choices for city drivers. By integrating ParkBee's extensive garage network directly into the EasyPark platform, we're making it easier than ever for drivers to find convenient, cost-effective parking solutions without the hassle of searching multiple apps or websites.

Making underutilized spaces work harder

Off-street parking—garages and parking facilities that aren't on the roadside—represents a significant untapped resource in most cities. Many private garages, hotel parking facilities, and commercial parking spaces sit partially empty while drivers circle streets looking for available spots. This partnership addresses that inefficiency head-on.

Arne Van Helleputte, Country Director Belgium at EasyPark, shares: "This collaboration with ParkBee is an important milestone for us. Off-street parking, which means garages and parking spaces that aren't on the roadside, is very important because it is making underutilised parking spaces available to the wider community and ensuring parking is simpler."

By bringing these hidden parking resources into a unified, accessible platform, we're not just solving a convenience problem—we're addressing fundamental urban challenges around traffic flow, emissions, and quality of life.

The environmental and urban impact

The benefits of simpler parking extend far beyond driver convenience. When people spend less time searching for parking, cities benefit in multiple ways.

"Simpler parking means less time in traffic, less congestion on the roads, and less emissions from driving around to find a space," Van Helleputte explains. "This is a great step towards our goal of making cities across Belgium more liveable."

Studies consistently show that a significant portion of urban traffic consists of drivers searching for parking. This circling behavior contributes to congestion, increases emissions, and degrades the urban environment for everyone—drivers and non-drivers alike. By providing clear, reliable access to off-street parking options, this partnership directly addresses these issues.

A win-win for users and property owners

The partnership creates value on both sides of the parking equation. For drivers, it means more choices, better prices, and guaranteed availability. For garage and property owners, it means optimized revenue from spaces that would otherwise sit empty.

Jian Jiang, CEO at ParkBee, shares: "Our strengthened partnership with EasyPark Belgium allows us to offer EasyPark users more off-street parking options while helping garage owners optimise their revenue potential. At ParkBee, we are dedicated to give space back to the cities by building an interconnected parking network."

This dual benefit is central to ParkBee's mission. By making better use of existing parking infrastructure, we reduce the pressure to build new parking facilities, freeing up valuable urban land for housing, green spaces, and community amenities. That's what we mean by giving space back to the cities.

Building an interconnected parking network

The Belgium expansion represents another significant step in building a truly interconnected parking network across Europe. As this network grows, the benefits multiply—more options for drivers, better utilization of existing infrastructure, and increasingly efficient urban mobility systems.

The partnership leverages the strengths of both companies: EasyPark's extensive user base and proven platform for on-street parking payments, combined with ParkBee's expertise in off-street parking management and technology. Together, we're creating a comprehensive solution that covers all parking needs in a single, user-friendly experience.

For EasyPark users in Belgium, the integration is seamless. They can continue using the app they know and trust, now with expanded access to off-street options that may be closer to their destination, more affordable, or simply more convenient than street parking alternatives.

Looking ahead

This collaboration is a fantastic step forward, and we are excited to see all that we can accomplish together. As we roll out across Belgium's major cities, we'll continue refining the experience based on user feedback and local needs.

The partnership also sets a template for future expansions and collaborations. By demonstrating the value of integrated parking solutions that bridge on-street and off-street options, we're contributing to a broader shift in how cities approach parking management and urban mobility.

Belgium's cities are becoming testing grounds for the next generation of smart city parking solutions—and this partnership between EasyPark and ParkBee is at the forefront of that transformation.
