FEDeRATED mobilises 15 partners that connect with over 150 stakeholders organisations - logistic operators, public authories, IT business, researchers, industry associations, etc - to enhance EU's operational brainpower for federative data sharing in logistics. The 23 Living Labs play a major role in commiting people; -  the human touch is essential. FEDeRATED is about a movement

Who are the FEDeRATED LivingLab (LL)  leaders that put so much effort in engaging people, trying to achieve FEDeRATED data sharing practices?
