CityZ

CityZ is an Italian deep-tech startup building IoT-based smart parking systems for cities, airports, large-scale retail sites and mobility operators. Its patented approach combines road-surface sensors, software and predictive analytics to identify parking-space availability in real time, with the stated aim of easing urban traffic congestion. The company is based in Turin and reports activity in Italy alongside international expansion.

The core hardware, CityZ Smart Parking Sensors, is installed directly in the road surface and uses radar and magnetometer sensing to detect whether a parking space is occupied. Reported performance exceeds 99% detection accuracy with a 10-year battery life; the units are CE, IP67 and IK10 certified. Around the sensors, CityZ provides a smart parking service built on an integrable IT platform, offering real-time dashboards, AI-powered predictive analytics and integration with navigation and mobility applications.

The product line extends beyond on-street parking. CityZ offers E-Mobility Parking for electric-vehicle charging management, a dedicated solution for logistics warehouses, and timed and reserved parking services for operators with more specific use cases. Technical work spans IoT sensor technology, radar and magnetometer sensing, AI-based analytics and real-time data systems.

CityZ describes itself as a young, dynamic team with a focus on technology and sustainability. The company has been recognised by Forbes and at the Smart City Expo and has received mobility innovation awards.
