Blended Finance for Real Impact
The GIIN Impact Forum is one of the world’s leading gatherings on impact investing, bringing together investors, fund managers, and development institutions to exchange insights and shape the future of sustainable finance.
This year, the Global Gender-Smart Fund (GGSF), represented by its fund manager Innpact, was invited to highlight its innovative blended finance structure and real world progress in advancing gender-smart investing.
During the event, GGSF co-hosted an Investor Meet-Up with 2X Global, fostering dialogue around catalytic capital, impact transparency, and gender inclusion. The Fund’s blended model was also featured at the Blended Finance Exhibition Gallery, where participants recognized it as a benchmark for inclusive and accountable investment design.
The forum offered a platform to reinforce GGSF’s vision: mobilizing both private and public capital to reshape financial systems, empower women, and scale sustainable impact globally.

 “Success stories of blended and catalytic capital are vital to proving the power of these approaches.”
