IBE

What IBE does

IBE d.d. is a Slovenian engineering consultancy headquartered in Ljubljana that delivers the full project lifecycle for infrastructure, industrial, energy, and building clients — from consulting engineering, surveys, and investment documentation through design, BIM coordination, audits, construction supervision, and facility handover. The firm operates across four market segments (Energy, Infrastructure, Industry, Buildings) and runs an in-house, interdisciplinary bench covering civil, mechanical, electrical, fire-safety, architectural, surveying, sustainability, and investment-economics disciplines. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is used across all six service modules for project documentation and coordination, and the firm has productized BIM consulting, management, and tailor-made digital solutions as a billable line.

The company traces its lineage to 1947–1949 (originally Hidroelektroprojekt, later Elektroprojekt) and has delivered 9,000+ projects over 75 years, with flagship references including the Brežice (45.3 MW) and Moste (13.5 MW) hydropower plants on the Sava River chain. The customer base is concentrated in Slovenia but extends into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Algeria, and Azerbaijan, and includes utilities (ELES, SODO, Savske elektrarne, Hidroelektrarne na Spodnji Savi), pharmaceutical majors (KRKA, LEK/Sandoz/Novartis), industrial manufacturers (Adria Mobil, Akrapovič, FRAPAK, Domel), and public institutions (University of Ljubljana, UKC Ljubljana).

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-based professional service fees under direct B2B engagement with enterprise and public-sector clients. Distribution is sales-led and reputation-driven, with no disclosed digital self-serve channel beyond a LinkedIn presence. The company is a privately held Slovenian d.d. (public limited company) with no identified external investors, funding rounds, subsidiaries, or M&A activity; ISO 9001 certification by Bureau Veritas is publicly disclosed. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, partnerships, or alliance relationships are identified in the available data.
