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 Bank (EIB) signed a EUR 150 million loan agreement with Soitec SA on 10 September 2025 to finance research, development and innovation (RDI) activities and associated capital expenditure for the next generation of engineered substrates (silicon-on-insulator, SOI) used in the semiconductor industry. The financing covers a first industrial deployment line for the new substrate technology plus a related water-treatment facility, against a total project cost of approximately EUR 358 million. The loan was approved by the EIB Board on 16 July 2025 and carries a two-and-a-half-year grace period followed by a ten-year amortization schedule.
France's Ministry of Agriculture, acting through FranceAgriMer, opened a EUR 45 million call for projects on 30 June 2025 to fund research and development of alternatives to chemical crop protection products (phytopharmaceuticals). The call — part of the PARSADA strategic plan launched in spring 2023 to anticipate a potential EU-level withdrawal of active substances — funds 3-to-5 year projects at 40-100% of eligible costs, capped at EUR 7.5 million per project, across eight agricultural sectors. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through 31 December 2026.
