This is different from 「〜に鑑みて」 (ni kangamite). You use 「〜を踏まえて」 when you use information for a new action. You use 「〜に鑑みて」 for judging something important. For example, you make a plan "based on" survey results. You make a judgment "in light of" past rules.
Watch out: Do not use this phrase when you talk to friends. It sounds too formal. Use simpler words instead. For example, say "from," "after hearing," or "after seeing." These are more natural for casual talk.
Use this when you want to show that what you say next comes from something you already know. It means your idea or plan is built on facts or past events.
