NEO GLS

Their core work

NEO GLS is a French technology SME specializing in intelligent transport systems, connected mobility, and vehicle data platforms. They build software infrastructure for logistics data exchange, cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS), and car data monetization pipelines. Their work focuses on making mobility data interoperable, queryable, and commercially viable — bridging the gap between raw vehicle and traffic data and usable digital services for the transport sector.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

NEO GLS started in 2016–2017 with infrastructure-level transport projects — logistics data exchange (AEOLIX), level crossing safety (SAFER-LC), and C-ITS deployment (C-MobILE). These were large-scale system integration efforts. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward data-centric mobility: car data monetization, data licensing, edge computing services, and machine learning for traffic management. The trajectory shows a company moving from transport infrastructure integration toward intelligent data platforms and AI-driven mobility services.

NEO GLS is moving from traditional transport IT toward data monetization and AI-driven mobility, making them increasingly relevant for smart city and MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) initiatives.

How they like to work

NEO GLS operates exclusively as a participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project but consistently contribute technical components within large consortia. With 124 unique partners across 22 countries, they are well-networked and comfortable working in diverse, multinational teams. Their repeat presence in transport consortia suggests they are a trusted specialist that coordinators actively recruit for their data and software expertise.

NEO GLS has collaborated with 124 unique partners across 22 countries, indicating a broad European network built through large transport consortia. Their partnerships span Western and Eastern Europe with no narrow geographic concentration.

What sets them apart

NEO GLS sits at the intersection of transport systems and data platform engineering — a combination that is increasingly in demand as vehicles become data sources. Unlike pure software companies, they understand the transport domain deeply; unlike transport operators, they bring real software development capability for data pipelines, APIs, and edge computing. For consortium builders, they fill the specific niche of making mobility data usable and commercially exploitable.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 5GMETA
  Directly addresses car data monetization — a commercially forward topic combining 5G edge computing, data licensing, and new business models for mobility data.
• C-MobILE
  Largest project by funding (EUR 529,751) focused on accelerating C-ITS deployment across multiple European cities.
• AEOLIX
  Their first and highest-funded H2020 project (EUR 546,375), building the architecture for pan-European logistics data exchange.
