What BIBIMBLE does

BIBIMBLE (legal name Bibim X Able) is a privately held South Korean technology convergence company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Mapo-gu, Seoul, operating with 11-50 employees. The company combines 'BIBIM' (fusion) and 'ABLE' (possibility) in its name and builds AI-powered immersive technology across three integrated product lines: AI digital humans (Aidix, with A2A and MCP protocol integration), holographic and mixed-reality display solutions (proprietary HoloMR platform and the DeepFrame product line distributed under exclusive Korean partnership with Denmark-based Realfiction), and metaverse/digital space platforms (Bicus social place platform and Vibetech Real B2B exhibition platform). Underlying technology relies on Unreal Engine real-time 3D rendering, AI-based 3D scanning, and integrations with third-party models including LG EXAONE LLM and Stable Diffusion.

The company generates revenue through a mix of project-based enterprise content development (e.g., BTS Digital Exhibition, JTBC VIP Concert, Samsung Tech Fair Docent System, LG AI Digital Human Kiosk), hardware sales and rental (HoloMR in three configurations, DeepFrame displays), and enterprise AI transformation consulting via its AX division, which follows a four-step methodology from diagnosis through company-wide expansion. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large B2B and B2G projects, a website-driven channel for hardware and educational VR (VR LINK) packages, and self-service platform access for Bicus and Vibetech Real. Government funding has been a notable revenue input, with ₩7.5B cumulative disclosed support across the 2022 E-Land/E-World seed round, the 2023 ICT Fund Business, and the 2024 Leading Technology Project. Customer concentration spans marquee Korean enterprises (HYBE, Samsung, LG, KT, JTBC, Mercedes-Benz Korea, The Hyundai) alongside government and cultural institutions (Cultural Heritage Administration, Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation, LH, LX, Bucheon City, E-Land Museum, Busan International Film Festival, Seoul Fashion Week).
