Airmarket
Simon Weckert (DE) with Armandeus Meniak and Lucas Novy
We trade with air! At the Airmarket, Linz’ air becomes a commodity that can be purchased and managed by the Airmarket. Air pollution is the scene of ecological and economic injustice. The resulting exhaust gas concentrations are not compatible with health and go hand in hand with the fact that in the future more and more people will breathe polluted air.
Therefore, secure clean air now, so that it will not be scarce in the future. With us you can purchase airspace in trade with your data and browse our assortment via a user interface. An official document from our Airmarket certifies your legal right to your airspace.
