Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
Brazil's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and its financing arm FINEP opened a non-reimbursable economic-subsidy call of up to R$60 million (~USD 11 million), funded by the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT), to finance Brazilian companies developing a low-cost small tractor (15-18hp) plus at least six compatible agricultural implements for family farming. The formal edital ("Seleção Pública MCTI/FINEP/FNDCT — Desafios Tecnológicos para Agricultura Familiar") was published 23 December 2025 with a submission deadline of 3 March 2026; funded projects must donate completed technology packages to farmer cooperatives. The programme is a domestic R&D/production-support subsidy rather than a border instrument, but it directs public financing toward import-substituting domestic tractor manufacturing.
On 31 October 2025, Brazil's federal innovation-financing company FINEP (Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos, under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation) announced a new R$1 billion (~USD 182 million) tranche of Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (FNDCT) resources for the Inovacred decentralized-credit line, with project submissions opening 3 November 2025. At least R$300 million of the tranche is earmarked for companies in the North, Northeast and Center-West regions. The measure is a domestic reimbursable-credit subsidy supporting innovation projects nationwide rather than a border instrument, channelled through roughly 30 accredited financial agents.
On 22 January 2024, Brazil's National Council for Industrial Development (CNDI), reactivated by President Lula in 2023, launched Nova Indústria Brasil (NIB) — Brazil's first comprehensive national industrial policy since the 2011-2014 Plano Brasil Maior. The framework commits roughly R$300 billion (~USD 60 billion) in financing through 2026, distributed across loans, non-refundable grants and equity participations administered by BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank), Finep (Research and Projects Financing Company) and Embrapii (Brazilian Industrial Research and Innovation Company), with quantitative targets running to 2033. The R$300bn envelope combines R$106bn announced at the first CNDI meeting in July 2023 with R$194bn redirected from existing budget lines. NIB is structured around six "missions": (1) sustainable and digital agro-industrial chains, (2) health-industrial complex resilience (medicines, vaccines, devices), (3) urban infrastructure and green mobility, (4) digital transformation and Industry 4.0 including semiconductors, (5) bioeconomy and energy transition, and (6) defence, sovereignty and national-security technologies. Two presidential decrees signed the same day establish local-content preferences for New PAC public-procurement bids and create an Interministerial Public Procurement Commission. As of February 2025, BNDES had approved R$220bn in NIB-aligned operations, and the plan has anchored downstream sectoral programmes including Brasil Semicon, the Mover automotive programme and Mais Inovação.
