Entrepreneurship is an essential driver of societal health and wealth, and a formidable engine of economic growth. It promotes the innovation required not just to exploit new opportunities, promote productivity and create employment, but also to help address some of society’s toughest challenges as stated by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Many of the world’s governments, think tanks, non-governmental and international organizations now look towards entrepreneurship as a key part of the solution to ending poverty and social inequity, promoting women’s empowerment, and implementing business solutions to the world’s environmental challenges, including climate change. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM)1 has been keeping its finger on the pulse of the state of entrepreneurship since 1999, both in terms of the state of the entrepreneurial mind-set, motivations, activities and ambition, and the national framework conditions required to allow entrepreneurship to flourish in an economy.
In this, GEM’s “coming of age” 21st year, entrepreneurship is in the spotlight as never before, with multiple governments increasingly focused on putting into place policy frameworks and mechanisms to drive and promote entrepreneurship.
