Turning Urban Real Estate into E-Bike Infrastructure
From car parks to cycling infrastructure, PORT is redefining what urban real estate can do. The company installs and operates fixed e-bike hubs inside existing assets, turning underutilised space into permanent, revenue-generating active travel infrastructure, with no capex or operational burden for site partners.
Already covering around one million miles per month across London and expanding into the UK's top 10 cities, PORT is also the driving force behind the Urban Microhub Alliance, a new industry coalition working to build the policy and planning framework that urban microhubs need to scale.
We caught up with James Willson, Head of Partnerships at PORT, ahead of Parkex 2026 to find out what they're bringing to CBS Arena and why now is the moment for asset managers, landlords, and local authorities to get involved.
Scan, pay, walk away: how Parkso is making parking friction-free

We caught up with the team ahead of Parkex 2026 to find out how they built it, what operators are making of it, and why they think parking should be boring.

Beyond the Bay: How PayByPhone Is Reimagining the Mobility Journey
When most people think of PayByPhone, they think of paying for parking. But with a freshly redesigned app, integrated EV charging, a fuel finder, and sustainability tools like Emitless and Meters for Trees, the platform has evolved into something far more ambitious.
We caught up with the PayByPhone team ahead of Parkex 2026 to find out how they're helping drivers, operators and local authorities navigate a rapidly changing mobility landscape - and why parking is just the starting point.
NDI at Parkex 2026: Intelligence-Led Site Security
NDI might not be a name you associate with parking, but their technology is already working quietly behind the scenes at sites across the UK.
With decades of ANPR experience built in policing and law enforcement, they bring a very different kind of expertise to Parkex 2026 - one shaped by evidential quality, operational reliability and real-world enforcement.
As trespass, fly-tipping and access control challenges grow more complex, NDI's fixed and redeployable systems offer the vehicle intelligence that turns reactive site management into proactive enforcement. We caught up with the team to find out what they're bringing to the conversation.
