  • The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is the largest annual international research initiative that collects and analyses data about various forms of entrepreneurial activity, providing valuable insights into the state of entrepreneurship within and across different economies around the world. These insights are particularly relevant to Singapore, where the success of its innovation-driven financial system is largely dependent on the economic activities of its citizens.
    In this report, we describe the key definitions and terms used in the GEM and summarize the key findings of the GEM Singapore 2013. Wherever possible, we draw comparisons with findings from 2011 and 2012 reports, and with other developed countries or those located near Singapore.
