25 years of GEM - 25 years of GEM Germany: New country report on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor published

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is celebrating a remarkable anniversary: in 1999, the first country report on Germany was published by the world's largest and oldest research consortium for empirical entrepreneurship research - and a quarter of a century later, the most recent of these annual reports has been published. 45 countries took part in the extensive data collection with surveys of a statistically representative cross-section of the population and entrepreneurship experts in the reference year 2023. The results were presented on 28 June at the premises of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), which currently funds the GEM in Germany. It is striking that there is still a relatively high number of new businesses in Germany (compared to the last 25 years), but the gender gap remains large.The authors, the long-standing team leader of GEM Germany Rolf Sternberg, Niels Wendt (both Hanover), Florian Täube, Matthias Wallisch, Natalia Gorynia-Pfeffer and Armin Baharian (RKW, Eschborn), describe Germany's comparative strengths and weaknesses in entrepreneurial activities and attitudes as well as entrepreneurial framework conditions in detail in the report.
