The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is a global consortium that conducts research on 66 global economies, covering 82% of the world’s GDP and 71% of its population. GEM brings together over 400 researchers from across the globe and includes more than 100 institutions every year. The involvement of all these people and institutions makes GEM the largest study on entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities in the world.
In 2021, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) conducted its 23rd annual survey. Academic research teams in each participating economy, representing 117 economies since 1999, collected and analyzed data on a comprehensive array of indicators representing entrepreneurship rates, motivations, impact, attitudes, and other characteristics. The year 2021 also marked the sixth consecutive year in which Saudi Arabia participated in GEM and the second in which data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
