Overview

The 2X Global Summit is the annual convening of 2X Global members and strategic partners, aimed at fostering member connections, driving collaborations, and advancing meaningful actions to close the global gender financing gap. Since 2018, with the support of our community, we have mobilized over US$30 billion in gender lens investments, demonstrating our collective impact and commitment to drive action on gender-smart capital.

This year’s summit, co-hosted with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will take place in Manila, Philippines, from September 2-4, 2025.

The 2025 theme, Women Driving Resilience, highlights women’s adaptability and innovation as a source of strength to help navigate the challenges and opportunities in a changing world. It zeroes in on women's resourcefulness in a range of ways - from transforming and innovating business solutions in the private sector, to addressing global challenges such as climate change, geopolitical shifts, and the rise of digital and artificial intelligence.
