GEM 2025/2026 Global Report: From Uncertainty to Opportunity is the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s 27th annual study of entrepreneurship, drawing on data from 53 economies and over 160,000 interviews. It finds record startup activity globally but identifies two growing divides: a “Survival Gap” where too few startups transition into established firms and an “AI Readiness Gap” separating entrepreneurs with access to artificial intelligence from those without.
