GEM’s vision is to be a key facilitator in developing entrepreneurship within Australia and offshore, within developing and emerging economies.

GEM has been providing pathways to the Australian Higher Education, considered by many to be the best and most accessible system in the world, and has been equipping entrepreneurs who may not wish to follow an academic pathway since 1995.
