By applying to the call “Support for SMEs in Internationalization”, PENTA has been awarded grants for the implementation of the project PENTA SMART MOBILITY - from smart parking to the mobility of the future (PK.1.3.10.0280). The PENTA SMART MOBILITY project includes participation at three international trade fairs in 2026 and is focused on the promotion and development of innovative IT solutions for urban mobility management, with a special emphasis on three key products:

SMART ECO PARKING - an advanced system for managing parking facilities and optimizing stationary traffic, contributing to sustainable urban mobility and reducing environmental impact
BusCARD - an integrated IT system for automated fare collection and efficient management of urban and suburban public transport, aimed at improving service quality and cost control
Go2Bike - a modular solution for automated management of public bicycle-sharing fleets, with the option of integration with other mobility systems

Participation in international fairs and exhibiting alongside leading experts in the field of smart mobility will enable Penta to promote its mobility innovations. The trade fairs where Penta will exhibit are:

1. INTERTRAFFIC, Amsterdam (10.03.-13.03.2026.)
Intertraffic is one of the largest and most influential international fairs in the fields of traffic infrastructure, traffic management, safety, and parking. It gathers over 30,000 professionals and 900 exhibitors. The fair covers topics such as AI, sustainable mobility, and parking payment systems. Intertraffic is extremely important for Penta due to its strong connection to Penta’s parking solutions. Participation enables the presentation of innovations, networking with global partners, and monitoring the latest technologies, all of which support business expansion and the development of new products.

2. INNOTRANS, Berlin (22.09.-25.09.2026.)
