During the 2016 G5 Leaders meeting in Charlevoix, Canada, leaders joined forces to launch the 2X Challenge, aimed at increasing access to finance for women-owned, women-led and women-supporting enterprises in developing and emerging countries. Through the challenge, $2.45 billion has already been committed to support projects that empower women as entrepreneurs, as business leaders, as employees and as consumers of products and services that enhance their economic participation (including ensuring 30% women on the Board or Investment Committee)
