We dedicate our research efforts to applied research that explores the influence of entrepreneurial legacies within families, and the impact of family entrepreneurs on the global economy.
We continually work at the forefront of the area of family entrepreneurship with research projects carried about by Babson faculty and Bertarelli Institute leadership.
We believe entrepreneurial families are the greatest force for growth and positive change on the planet. Our mission is to amplify the capacity of these families to create better businesses, communities, and societies through stronger family relationships.
In our latest report, we discuss our unique, research-driven approach focused on the family dynamics that cultivate entrepreneurship in families. We also highlight key initiatives, programs and events hosted by The Bertarelli Institute for Family Entrepreneurship.

Bertarelli Institute Faculty Research Report Fall 2022
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) was initiated in 1999 as a joint venture of Babson College and the London Business School.
GEM, now a global consortium of over 500 researchers in its 20th year of operation, is the largest and most developed research program on entrepreneurship in the world, including data from 100+ economies.
The 2020 report will feature a special family business supplement containing groundbreaking research on the nature of family entrepreneurship. Check back in late September to see the report and these exciting findings.
The U.S. GEM team, led by Babson's Governor Craig R. Benson Professor of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy, Julian Lange, collects comprehensive data and brings together top scholars from Babson College to analyze and report on the implications of the Adult Population Survey (APS) and the National Expert Survey (NES). The annual Babson-sponsored U.S. GEM report not only yields meaningful insights into American entrepreneurship, but also provides global and longitudinal analyses to allow comparisons with other economies and within the U.S. over time.
