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.
The European Investment Fund (EIF), part of the EIB Group, announced on 9 February 2026 an anchor investment of EUR 300 million (~USD 354.8 million) in Seaya Growth Tech Fund I, a Spain-based pan-European growth venture capital vehicle targeting a EUR 1 billion final close. The commitment is made under the European Tech Champions Initiative (ETCI), and the fund will make growth-stage (Series C+) equity investments in European companies across applied AI, deep-tech, fintech, climate solutions, smart manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, capital-market autonomy, cybersecurity and environmental technology. Global Trade Alert separately logs the transaction as a "red"-flagged state-linked financial-investment-support intervention.
On 3 February 2026 the European Commission opened an in-depth Phase II investigation under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) — the second FSR ex officio case and the first targeting the renewable-energy wind-OEM sector — into whether Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and its EU affiliates received Chinese foreign subsidies (grants, preferential tax treatment, and state-bank preferential financing) that distort competition for wind-turbine supply and services in the EU internal market. The case (FS.100143) follows the April 2024 preliminary-review opening and subjects Goldwind to an 18-month Phase II investigation with potential redressive-measures decision. The action structurally extends the FSR enforcement perimeter from security equipment (Nuctech, FS.100068) into the green-transition energy-equipment supply chain.
The European Investment Bank signed guarantee agreements with Banco Santander totalling EUR 450 million on 29 January 2026, announced by EIB Group President Nadia Calviño during the Group's results presentation in Brussels. The guarantees are expected to unlock around EUR 900 million in new supply-chain financing for European companies: EUR 400 million for security-and-defence manufacturers (cybersecurity, surveillance, resilience and defence-technology suppliers) under the EIB's EUR 3 billion pan-European intermediated financing instrument for the defence industrial base, and EUR 500 million for companies in clean technologies, telecommunications and digital infrastructure via reverse-factoring supply-chain-finance instruments. Santander is reported as the fourth major European bank to sign under the defence-supply-chain programme, and the clean-tech/digital tranche contributes to the EIB Group's TechEU initiative.
On 28 January 2026 the European Commission's CINEA agency allocated a EUR 62.63 million grant to Slovenské elektrárne a.s. under the 2025 Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy call, funding the "works" phase of the "Modernisation of hydro pumped storage of Čierny Váh" Project of Common Interest in Slovakia. The grant covers 34.3% of eligible costs for upgrading two turbogenerator units (TG1, TG2) of Slovakia's largest pumped-storage plant to variable-speed technology and integrating a large-scale battery energy storage system of up to 80 MW / 160 MWh. It is one of 14 cross-border energy infrastructure projects sharing roughly EUR 650 million from the same call round.
