2011 GEM Report on Entrepreneurshio in the UAE
Although entrepreneurship has a prominent role to play in the continuation of UAE's outstanding economic performance and international standing, its success is not automatic. To do so, policy-makers and government agencies must identify what drives people to start new businesses, maximize the number of start-ups aspiring to and achieving high growth, and drive the elements of a healthy entrepreneurial ecosystem. Arising from this motivation, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2011 UAE report is to assist in drawing up an Entrepreneurship Policy Framework, which provides the background and supporting information to the national entrepreneurship policy and strategy. The 2011 report reveals levels of entrepreneurial activity in the UAE that may provide a very good starting point from which the country can progress to join the ranks of the elite group of the most innovative, entrepreneurial nations in the world
