Advancing Practical Solutions for Europe’s Future
OVTI is an independent European public policy initiative bridging the gap between humanitarian obligations and economic realities.
The Origins of OVTI
Our initiative was born from a critical paradox in European society: the simultaneous existence of severe labour shortages and thousands of motivated individuals trapped in legal limbo.
For years, individuals whose asylum applications were rejected but who could not safely return home have been excluded from the formal economy. At the same time, critical European industries have faced unprecedented workforce deficits. OVTI was established to design a legally sound, practical framework—The Bridge Permit—that solves both crises simultaneously, ensuring dignity for individuals and vitality for host societies.
Today, we work alongside legal scholars, labour economists, and policymakers to turn this evidence-based proposal into European legislative reality.
