2X Global launched on 1 January 2023, following a merger between global field builder and convener GenderSmart, and membership organisation 2X Collaborative. It builds on the 2X Challenge, launched at the G7 Summit 2018 as a joint commitment, which has since invested and mobilised more than US$ 11 billion under the 2X Criteria. The 2X Criteria and underlying indicators have become a global industry standard for gender lens investing.
