The Ministry of Finance of Luxembourg is proud to announce its multi-year support to 2X Global, a global non-for profit membership and field building organisation dedicated to unlocking gender-smart capital at scale. Over a four year period, this €1 million catalytic support will further enable 2X Global in its efforts to empower women entrepreneurs and gender-smart businesses, and increase their access to capital and financial services, in particular through its 2X Challenge, 2X Ignite, and a new 2X Certification mechanism.

Join us on March 14, 2023, at 5:00 - 6:00 pm CET for the launch of our new report, Inclusive gender and climate finance: Centring frontline, underrepresented and underserved communities in investment. In this free session, we will explore different entry points on how investors can use a gender, climate and justice lens to channel more finance towards social and environmental progress.

We are thrilled to announce the first Africa Cohort of the 2X Ignite GP Sprint. The 2XI GP Sprint is a 6-month acceleration programme for 7 female-led or gender-balanced fund managers with gender-smart investing strategies across Africa. The Sprint’s ambitious goal is to accelerate these fund managers’ timeline to a first or subsequent close in 2023.
