The OIVA project addresses inefficiencies in regulatory compliance processes that slow down investments, weaken oversight, increase business costs, and add administrative burden for authorities across Europe. These challenges are particularly evident in three highly regulated sectors, where fragmented procedures and manual inspections limit efficiency and trust.

In vehicle recycling, OIVA pilots cross-border data exchange, enabling traceability of materials and verifiable achievement of recycling targets. The project digitalizes permit processes and removes regulatory bottlenecks that delay construction and renovation projects. For financial reporting, OIVA enables continuous, data-driven monitoring of regulatory compliance, reduces reporting workload, and strengthens oversight.

The project builds shared digital infrastructures and compliance tools, including data spaces, digital product passports, EUDI wallets, trust services, an editorial and reasoning environment for encoding regulations into machine-executable rules, as well as EurLexGPT, a domain-specific AI model trained on EU law—all designed to scale across sectors and member states. Through pilots, OIVA demonstrates how interoperable systems and standardized interfaces enable efficient data exchange.

OIVA lays the foundation for digital and automated regulatory compliance, increasing transparency, trust, and efficiency in the European economy.

The adoption of digital solutions and automation brings significant benefits to both companies and authorities. Companies benefit from cost savings, streamlined processes, and improved competitiveness as manual work decreases and data transfer accelerates. Automation of compliance and reporting reduces administrative burden and improves adherence to regulatory requirements. Authorities, in turn, can enhance supervision and permit processes, as well as improve data quality and transparency.
