What GlobiOne does

GlobiOne (글로비원) is a South Korean Hybrid MICE (Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conventions, Exhibitions) platform service company founded in May 2019 and incorporated in July 2019, headquartered in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, within the Kintex convention complex, with a sales branch in Seoul's Gangnam-gu district. The company operates an integrated SaaS platform called GBNBOX that provides end-to-end event management capabilities — including event registration, buyer/seller invitation and registration management, consultation matchmaking, survey management, video conferencing, VR exhibitions, VR tourism, VR meetings, community features, CRM, and event-cycle statistics — augmented by AI-powered buyer-seller matchmaking. The platform is supplemented by professional event planning/operations consulting and full-service event agency offerings.

GlobiOne's revenue model combines SaaS platform subscriptions (GBNBOX) with professional services revenue from consulting and event agency work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company positions itself with a value-oriented "Good Pricing" message. Go-to-market is sales-led, pursuing MICE organizers (associations, government agencies, trade promotion bodies), MICE agencies/operators, and public-sector and corporate clients directly through enterprise sales, the Korea MICE Association referral channel (MOU signed October 2019), and government startup support programs. Distribution is Korea-domestic primary with selective international export consultation fair activity targeting ASEAN, India, and China markets from July 2020 onward.

The customer base is concentrated among Korean government and quasi-government clients including KOTRA, the Ministry of Culture/Sports/Tourism, Gyeonggi Province/GBSA, and aT/Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, alongside academic societies (dental, orofacial pain, TMD societies), a Korea-China education cultural exchange forum, and social enterprise events (Bridge Store VR exhibition with The Bridge and Beautiful Store). The company has accumulated multiple government recognitions (K-Global Startup Mentoring, KOTRA Open Innovation Demo Day, Goyang MICE Industry Startup Idea Competition Grand Prize in 2021) and holds a filed patent for its event management platform system (March 2019) along with registered GlobiOne and GBNBOX trademarks. No external funding rounds or revenue figures are disclosed.
