Business Schools
This is an opportunity for your business school to be the one-stop shop for GEM entrepreneurship research in your country!
Form a GEM National Team
By forming a GEM National Team in your country, your business school will reap the below benefits.
Increase publication opportunities
Leverage unique data sets collected according to a rigorous methodology that will enable publication in a plethora of top journals such as The Journal of Business Venturing, Small Business Economics, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, and the Journal of International Business Studies.
Analyse the role of entrepreneurship at the grassroots level
GEM studies the behaviours of individuals who start their own businesses. This approach provides a more detailed picture of entrepreneurial activity than is found in official national registry data sets.Â
Contribute to iconic reports
This includes the prestigious GEM Global Report as well as National Reports that include international benchmarking, local context and national entrepreneurship policy recommendations. Your school can also leverage customised tools to create Special Topic Reports that investigate areas of particular interest. Previous special reports have looked at women and entrepreneurship, education and training, and financing, among others.
Provide your country with international benchmarking
Your business school team’s research will show how your country fares in key entrepreneurship indicators compared to other nations.Â
Help inform policy
There have been countless examples of GEM research leading to new policies that have improved entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Enhance your business school's reputation
GEM shines a spotlight on your business school’s entrepreneurship footprint. Many of our partner business school’s research appears in top media outlets in their country.Â
Collaborate with a network of top experts around the world
You will have the opportunity to share best practices with the GEM network of over 300 researchers. You will also be able to leverage training resources that offer best practices on everything involved in the project, from fundraising to delivering on the research deadlines. A central expert team rigorously monitors every stage of the data collection process to ensure high quality.
Sponsor GEM research and support countries of interest
Business schools also sponsor GEM research reports. Case in point, the The School of Management Fribourg (Switzerland) has sponsored several different GEM reports over the years, as well as supported the work of the GEM Ukraine National Team.

It is truly amazing to coordinate 50+ teams from around the world, gathering data from 200,000 respondents and create impactful global, country, women’s and special topic reports. I’ve developed an incredible appreciation for the work that makes GEM research possible each year.
