The buzz: “In a sea of human beings, it is difficult, at times even impossible, to see the human as being” (Aysha Taryam). Humanitarian challenge: help refugees find meaningful work and businesses find skilled workers. Sustainable solutions: Deloitte collaborated with the Refugee Studies Centre (University of Oxford) on a research report "Talent Displaced: the economic lives of Syrian refugees in Europe" and with SAP to develop and pilot the FuturesHub technology platform.

Jacques Buith, Deloitte: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been” (W. Gretzky).
