The Gender Index (TGI) is the UK's largest research study into female entrepreneurship, providing a comprehensive, real-time picture of female-led business activity across the country. Its AI-powered platform maps over 5.2 million active UK companies, offering insights by gender, sector, investment type, and ethnic minority leadership — all freely accessible to female founders, policymakers, investors, journalists, and educators.
Each year, TGI publishes an annual report tracking the state of female entrepreneurship in the UK, monitoring trends, identifying barriers, and highlighting opportunities to close the gender gap in business. With only 19.1% of active UK companies currently female-led, TGI's mission is clear: to use data as a catalyst for change, driving greater female participation in business and building a more inclusive economy.
