Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM Global)
*GEM 2007 Global Report launched - click here to download*
GEM UK is part of the GEM Global project, a major survey-based study of entrepreneurial activity currently operating in more than 41 countries across the world and coordinated through London Business School and Babson College, Boston.
Conceived in 1999 as a not-for-profit international research consortium, GEM set out with two objectives: to gather high quality international research evidence on entrepreneurial activity and to make it readily available to as wide an audience as possible.
Prior to GEM, conventional economic research had focussed almost entirely on the competitiveness of nations. GEM took a different line, seeking to answer such questions as:
- How much entrepreneurial activity is there in the world?
- Why are some countries more entrepreneurial than others?
- What can governments do to promote and facilitate entrepreneurial activity?
