Recognised for their work on entrepreneurs and the ecosystems of entrepreneurship, SKEMA Business School’s research teams have developed a measurement index based on different criteria tested in real conditions. This index will evaluate the mindset and confidence of entrepreneurs periodically.

The index will help in providing institutional, economic and academic stakeholders with data that will help to (re)develop entrepreneur-centric policies in support of entrepreneurship. The aim of this research is to create a recurring index to measure the mindset and confidence of entrepreneurs by periodically assessing:

-How entrepreneurs perceive their ability to handle the uncertainty generated by the current state of their environment
-How they feel about the support they currently receive from the stakeholders in their ecosystem
-How successful they currently feel in terms of their entrepreneurial venture, their professional life, and achieving the goals they had initially set themselves
-Their current perception of the image they project to those around them, as well as their perception of the image entrepreneurship currently has in society in general.
