Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2016/2017: Report on Switzerland
The School of Management Fribourg, member of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO), in collaboration with the ETH Engineering School in Zurich and SUPSI Manno in Switzerland, collected data for the international Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). 3500 telephone interviews and 36 talks with experts revealed entrepreneurial attitudes, activities and aspirations, and identified the factors influencing the type and extent of the entrepreneurial activities.
The 2016 / 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Report on Switzerland, supported by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), illustrates national differences in entrepreneurial activity between economies, revealing the factors that determine the nature and level of national entrepreneurial activity, and identifying policy implications for enhancing entrepreneurship in Switzerland. The GEM data complements already existing indicators of competitiveness and innovation.
