Session Description
This interactive session explores how mobile connectivity shapes the lives of refugees and displaced populations, and what it takes to build digital ecosystems that include them more intentionally.
Using an immersive format and moderated discussion, the session will bring these issues to life through the lived journey of a refugee moving from exclusion toward connection, safety and opportunity. Alongside this human story, the session will also highlight the role of collaboration between MNOs, humanitarian organisations, innovators and policy makers in building solutions that are practical, scalable and rooted in local context.
