The Global Entrepreneurship Index helps to build stronger entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Enterprise is very important for the economic growth of a nation. Enterprises not only lead to innovation but also add more jobs to the economy. Thus, the growth of entrepreneurship is vital to reduce unemployment. To measure the health of the entrepreneurship ecosystems among the nations, the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute regularly publishes the Global Entrepreneurship Index.
Countries that have the right policies and infrastructure to support entrepreneurship have done well on the index and are placed at the top. Some of the criteria of the GEI scores are skills in the fields of start-ups, quality of education, perceptions on entrepreneurship in the society among others.
