DANIEL LUDWIG CONSULTANT

Their core work

Daniel Ludwig Consultant is a France-based consultancy specializing in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) technology transfer and international cooperation, particularly between Europe and Asia. The firm supports the European GNSS programmes (Galileo/EGNOS) by facilitating industrial partnerships, knowledge exchange, and market development in the Asia-Pacific region. Their work bridges the gap between European space technology providers and international markets through coordination and support activities.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

With only three projects spanning 2015–2019, the evolution is modest but discernible. Early work (GNSS.asia2, E-KnoT) centered on broad industrial cooperation and building the knowledge triangle for European GNSS. The later GNSS.asia3 project suggests a continued and deepening commitment to Asia-Pacific GNSS market development, though at a smaller funding scale.

The firm appears consistently focused on GNSS internationalization — a potential partner for any future Galileo market expansion or EGNSS adoption initiatives targeting non-European markets.

How they like to work

Always a participant, never a coordinator — this is consistent with a consultancy that provides specialized expertise within larger consortium-led initiatives. Despite only three projects, they worked with 14 unique partners across 11 countries, indicating a broad, internationally connected network rather than a narrow circle. This suggests they are easy to integrate into diverse, multi-country consortia.

Despite a small project portfolio, DLC has collaborated with 14 partners across 11 countries — an unusually wide geographic spread suggesting strong international connections, particularly in GNSS and space-related communities.

What sets them apart

DLC occupies a niche at the intersection of European GNSS technology and Asian market access — a specialized position few consultancies hold. For consortium builders targeting Galileo/EGNOS international adoption, they bring ready-made networks and technology transfer experience spanning multiple continents. Their consultancy model means low overhead and flexible integration into project teams.

Highlights from their portfolio

• E-KnoT
  Largest funding (EUR 230,625) and the most substantive project — focused on building the E-GNSS Knowledge Triangle connecting research, education, and industry.
• GNSS.asia3
  Continuation of the GNSS.asia series, demonstrating sustained engagement and trusted partner status in Europe-Asia GNSS cooperation.
