BASELABS GMBH

Their core work

BaseLabs GmbH is a German technology company specializing in sensor fusion and positioning software for automated and connected vehicles. Their core work involves integrating GNSS signals — particularly from Europe's Galileo satellite system — with other onboard sensors to achieve the centimeter-level accuracy and high integrity that autonomous road transport demands. In the EU project context, they contributed technical expertise in EGNSS receiver design, real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning, and communication protocols (ITS-G5, C-ITS) that allow vehicles to exchange data with roadside infrastructure. They sit at the intersection of satellite navigation, automotive software, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

BaseLabs entered H2020 in 2016 focused narrowly on automotive GNSS receiver integrity (InDrive), with no recorded secondary keywords — suggesting a tight, well-defined technical niche. By the PRoPART project (2017–2019), the scope visibly expanded: precise RTK positioning was combined with Ultra Wideband ranging, sensor fusion, and full V2X communication stack keywords (ITS-G5, C-ITS, V2I, road side units). The trajectory is from single-technology GNSS specialists toward multi-sensor, connected-vehicle system integrators.

BaseLabs appears to be broadening from pure GNSS accuracy into full-stack autonomous driving positioning — combining satellite navigation, UWB, and V2X communication — making them a credible partner for any consortium needing integrated perception and localization for automated vehicles.

How they like to work

BaseLabs has participated exclusively as a consortium partner across both H2020 projects, never taking the coordinator role — consistent with a specialist technology provider that joins consortia to deliver a focused technical component rather than lead strategy. With 14 unique partners across 6 countries in just two projects, they clearly operate in reasonably diverse consortia rather than a tight recurring circle. This profile suggests they are comfortable entering new partnerships and contributing a well-defined technical deliverable.

Despite only two projects, BaseLabs has engaged with 14 distinct consortium partners across 6 countries, indicating active integration into European automotive and space-navigation research networks. Their project placements under the H2020 Space pillar (P2-SPACE) suggest connections to GNSS/Galileo industrial and institutional actors across Europe.

What sets them apart

BaseLabs occupies a precise niche at the crossroads of European satellite navigation (Galileo/EGNSS) and automotive autonomy — a combination that few pure-software SMEs in Germany focus on simultaneously. Their direct participation in both an EGNSS receiver integrity project and a multi-modal automated transport positioning project gives them rare hands-on experience with Galileo's high-accuracy signals in safety-critical driving contexts. For consortia pursuing Galileo-enabled autonomous mobility, BaseLabs brings applied receiver and fusion software expertise that complements the larger Tier 1 automotive suppliers typically found in such projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PRoPART
  The broader of the two projects, PRoPART combined EGNSS RTK, UWB, sensor fusion, and full C-ITS communication stack — the most technically diverse work in BaseLabs' H2020 portfolio and the clearest signal of their current capability range.
• InDrive
  Their first EU project focused specifically on high-integrity GNSS receivers for automotive applications, establishing their credentials in safety-grade satellite navigation before expanding scope.
