One of the sources to find IB/IGB companies is organizing a public call, other sources are information from the internet and literature, and personal recommendations. In December 2023, GIZ  and CDC Consult  did the first public call on IB/IGB of which 118 companies responded, of which 71 were micro-enterprises, 23 small firms, and 5 medium sized firm. Of these 28 companies were closer looked at and 6 companies prioritized for interviewing. Of which at the end 3 made it as IB/IGB. 

It was found that a public call is an important instrument to find IB/IGB companies, but other mechanisms like 

• background reading in the press, internet and literature, and 
• particularly direct recommendations need to be added.

The next public call will be in the first quarter of 2025, so that companies can be interviewed between April and September and the next (2nd) accreditation round be scheduled for the third quarter of 2025.
