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.
On 9 January 2026, Canada's Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly announced Defence Industry Assist (DI Assist), a CAD 244.2 million (~USD 178.6 million) funding and advisory initiative delivered through the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). The programme funds high-potential Canadian SMEs developing made-in-Canada defence and dual-use technologies, with the stated aims of reducing barriers to market entry, connecting recipients to procurement pathways, and strengthening domestic supply-chain collaboration. It sits within Canada's broader Defence Industrial Strategy (CAD 6.6 billion over five years from 2025-26) and Canada's push toward its 2% NATO defence-spending target.
On 15 December 2025, Canada's Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon, announced Phase 1 of the Canadian Quantum Champions Program (CQCP), awarding CAD 92 million (up to CAD 23 million each) to four domestic quantum-computing developers — Anyon Systems, Nord Quantique, Photonic, and Xanadu Quantum Technologies — to accelerate progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computers with industrial and defence applications. The program is designed to anchor quantum companies, talent and intellectual property inside Canada, moving systems beyond academic prototypes toward real-world testing and practical workloads, and sits within a broader ~CAD 334.3 million, five-year federal quantum-ecosystem commitment tied to Budget 2025 and Canada's National Quantum Strategy.
On 21 October 2025, the Government of Quebec and Investissement Québec announced the creation of the Fonds Impulsion, a roughly CAD 200 million equity fund structured as a limited partnership to support early-stage, high-growth-potential technology companies in the province. The fund consolidates the existing Impulsion PME program envelope with an additional CAD 50 million drawn from the Stratégie québécoise de recherche et d'investissement en innovation (SQRI2) 2022-2027, as set out in the Quebec 2025-2026 Budget Plan. Investissement Québec administers the fund with a minimum planned investment horizon of four years, taking equity stakes in Quebec technology firms sourced via incubators, accelerators, and industrial research groups.
On 15 September 2025, the Government of Ontario announced a CAD 18 million (USD 12.97m) grant to McMaster University to expand medical isotope production at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor in Hamilton. The funding moves the reactor to 24/7 operation, adds 16 jobs, and is projected to raise custom-isotope output from roughly 70,000 to up to 84,000 patient treatments annually (Holmium-166 for liver cancer, Iodine-125 for prostate-cancer and ocular/brain tumour therapy). The investment follows Ontario's July 2025 launch of the Nuclear Isotope Innovation Council of Ontario (NIICO), which aims to double provincial isotope output within four years.
