Bbodek operates a tableware rental and cleaning service with three offerings: bbodek Kids (sterilized tableware for daycare/kindergartens), bbodek Biz (dishwashing and rental for restaurants), and bbodek Eco (reusable tableware to replace disposables). The company has an in-house research institute, the Cleantech Center (CTC), and has developed automated cleaning technology and a semiconductor‑grade “vision inspection” system for quality control. These technologies have driven improved profitability by lowering manufacturing and logistics costs and cutting required workers per cleaning line from 14 to 4. Bbodek has surpassed 2,000 customers, including major domestic catering companies and over 10 elementary and middle schools this year, and currently delivers across the metropolitan area via its own logistics network. The company plans to increase R&D spending, hire specialized personnel, and build large-scale cleaning factories to expand service into non-metropolitan areas. Founded in August 2017 and based in South Korea, Bbodek emphasizes automation and data-based process efficiency as core to its growth strategy.

N.THING is a physical-AI agriculture company that provides N.FARM.AI, a fully integrated farm-management platform offering AI-based environment control, real-time crop monitoring, yield prediction, and end-to-end business analytics. The system will be deployed across eight floors (4,040 pyeong / ~13,354 m²) of the forthcoming IM Farm Tower, Korea’s first building-type vertical farm, which is expected to produce about 1,000 tons of high-value crops annually once completed in 2027. N.THING has accumulated ten years of cultivation data and operational know-how that it is now commercializing through B2B contracts with growers and developers. The company says it has already secured a 20 billion-won business pipeline for 2024. Looking ahead, it will use fresh capital to enhance N.FARM.AI, develop new high-margin crops such as strawberries and herbs, and launch global expansion beginning with Indonesia. Management is simultaneously preparing a Series C raise and working with Samsung Securities on a prospective KOSDAQ listing.
