Despite most refugee camps being initially set up to provide a 'temporary' safe space for people uprooted by wars, natural disasters or other events, the reality is that many of those people spend 20 years or more in exile. This panel will be looking at how entrepreneurship could transform current refugee settlements into long-term, viable communities.
