In 2025, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) conducted its 27th annual survey. Academic research teams in
52 economies collected and analyzed data on rates of participation across phases of business startup and ownership
activity, characteristics of entrepreneurs and their businesses, and the entrepreneurial attitudes, affiliations, and
self-perceptions of people in society. Babson College, a co-founding institution and longtime global sponsor of GEM,
also sponsors the U.S. team, which administers the survey in the United States each year.
