Today, the GEM Switzerland team had the pleasure of participating in the conference « Rencontre de l’entrepreneuriat à l’international » at the School of Management Fribourg (HEG-FR).
Prof. Maya Dougoud, Team Lead of GEM Switzerland, shared insights from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), highlighting the latest trends in entrepreneurship both in Switzerland and around the world. The event sparked lively discussions on innovation, international entrepreneurship, and the opportunities and challenges facing today’s entrepreneurs.
GEM Switzerland was represented by both Prof. Maya Dougoud and Dr. Viktoriia Apalkova, who enjoyed meeting an engaged and diverse group of participants, including students, entrepreneurs, and professionals from different backgrounds.
Events like this are a great reminder that entrepreneurship is not only about creating businesses — it is about building connections, sharing ideas, and learning from each other. We thank Fribourg International and all participants for the inspiring discussions and look forward to continuing the conversation.
