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.
