As a GEM sponsor, your company, institution, or foundation will generate visibility via the consortium’s press, thought leadership analysis and reports. You will support all the work that goes into creating the research and thus leverage the findings to strengthen your messages on the change needed for entrepreneurship to take place in your communities of interest. You can also collaborate with GEM to help fund custom research in specific areas that impact your organisation’s different stakeholders.Â
Global corporations, nonprofits and academic institutions sponsor different GEM Reports. Examples of GEM Report sponsors over the years include Babson College, Cartier Women’s Initiative, Fribourg School of Management in Switzerland, The Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, Smith College, Shopify, The UAE Ministry of Economy and the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi).Â
GEM Executive Director Aileen Ionescu-Somers explains how GEM works with report sponsors in the following Q and A interview article.
The GEM database is truly unique. It represents 25 years of surveys in over 110 economies and showcases an array of entrepreneurship indicators. Academics can leverage this database, GEM’s data collection and data management process, and a network of top entrepreneurship researchers from around the world.
