About us
A directory built on trust.
OICW Bridge gives enterprises across OIC member countries a place to be seen, a way to prove who they are, and the connections to grow. It is an initiative of the Islamic Centre for Development of Trade (ICDT), built for entrepreneurs who already have a business and need the rest of the world to find it.
Why it exists
A capable business can stay invisible simply because no buyer abroad has a way to find it or any reason to trust what it says. Trade directories are easy to list in and hard to believe. OICW Bridge takes the other path: every profile in the directory has been checked by a verifier in the enterprise's own country, and nothing is published without the owner's consent.
What you get
Be seen
A public profile with your sector, size, products and contact details, searchable by anyone looking for what you sell.
Be trusted
A verification badge that says a national verifier checked your registration documents — not a badge you bought.
Keep control
Your documents stay private, your profile is published only while you consent to it, and you can withdraw at any time.
How verification works
Register your enterprise
Company identity, sector and size, what you buy or sell, how to reach you, and proof that the business is legally registered.
A verifier in your country reviews it
Each country has its own verifiers. They see only applications from their own country, and they approve, reject or ask you for changes.
Your profile joins the directory
Once approved, your profile is public and carries the verification badge. Change your identity details later and it goes back for review.
Where it operates
Registration is open in six pilot countries: Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritania, Azerbaijan, Malaysia and Indonesia. The directory itself can be searched from anywhere, and more OIC member countries follow as verification teams are appointed.
In your language
Everything — the directory, your profile, the training and the emails we send you — exists in English, French and Arabic, with Arabic laid out right to left.
The organisation behind the directory
OICW Bridge is an initiative of the Islamic Centre for Development of Trade, the OIC's trade organ, established in Casablanca in 1984.
