27th Jun 2008
The GEM team, in association with BERR and the Welsh Assembly Government, held the first UK research event in Cardiff on May 15th-16th 2008. The Presentations from this conference are now available to download.
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research consortium has been measuring entrepreneurial activity of working age adults across a wide range of countries in a comparable way since 1998.
As part of this project, GEM UK is the largest national study of entrepreneurial activity in the world, and has grown from a survey of 1,000 adults in 1998 to 42,713 adults aged 18-64 in 2007. This has produced a dataset without equal in terms of the potential to examine different facets of entrepreneurial attitudes, intentions and activity at a national and regional level within the UK.
The GEM team, in association with BERR and the Welsh Assembly Government, held the first UK research event in Cardiff on May 15th-16th 2008.
The aim of this event was to discuss some of the key findings that are emerging from the GEM data and to examine their significance for the development of regional and national enterprise policies. It also looked to establish a research agenda for the use of GEM data during the next few years and how academics and policymakers can work together to maximise the opportunities emerging from the research.
