This if the first GEM report on the four Atlantic provinces in Canada - New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The report found many differences among the four provinces, in such areas as availability of funding, availability of government assistance, the role of business incubators, and the adequacy of education for entrepreneurship. It also found similarities, such as the perception that new and growing firms can't afford new technology, the peak age for entrepreneurship being 25-34, and the predominant mode of entrepreneurship being opportunity based.
