Universities
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.
Contribute to iconic reports
This includes the prestigious GEM Global Report as well as National Reports that feature 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
“Here in the UK, GEM has allowed me to engage with national and regional policymakers in developing better evidence on the performance of policy and the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.” These are the words of Professor Mark Hart of Aston University in the UK and the GEM UK Team Leader.Â
There have been countless examples of GEM research leading to new policies that have improved entrepreneurial ecosystems.

The unique nature of the GEM methodology and data not only allows us to understand the current dynamics of entrepreneurship in various contexts but also enables us to provide scientifically based recommendations for improving regional or national entrepreneurship ecosystems through historical analysis. These are key GEM differentiators.
