Positive Outcome of Refugees | Lubna Rashid | TEDxTUBerlin

With science saying that “New entrepreneurs can potentially trigger a virtual circle of growth, contributing to increase in government revenues, public sector reforms, growth in infrastructure and services, and economic expansion”, there is hope! There is no surprise that the Deutsche Bank said that “Refugees is the ‘best thing’ to happen to Germany”.

Lubna is a doctoral student at the Technical University of Berlin, researching drivers and motivations of entrepreneurship in refugee communities and conflict areas. An Iraqi-born who came as a refugee to the United States in 2010, Lubna left the USA in 2015 and embarked on a journey of volunteering and working on the Balkan borders, Turkey, Lebanon and Germany in support of conflict survivors and underprivileged youth, before she settled in Berlin. She has previously obtained her MS from the Georgia Institute of Technology and worked as a management consultant with Accenture USA Answer: A world where people listen more before they speaker, attempt to understand instead of passing judgement, and put being human first before any differences.
