Description

Can business investments help bring stability and peace in places affected by conflict – or is this just wishful thinking?  How should businesses conduct themselves in fragile contexts, not just to avoid inflaming tensions but to positively support peacebuilding? And how can governments and state agencies attract and set the terms for the kind of inward investment which can make a positive contribution in such difficult circumstances?  

This event is part of the 2022 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting Affiliate Programme.
