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 Hong Kong government launched the Pilot Innovation and Technology Accelerator Scheme (PITAS) on 29 January 2026, an HKD 180 million (approx. USD 23 million) matching-grant programme administered by the Innovation and Technology Commission. The scheme provides funding support on a one-to-two matching basis between the government and the applicant, capped at HKD 30 million per approved project, to attract professional innovation and technology (I&T) enterprise service providers with proven accelerator track records to set up startup-accelerator bases in Hong Kong. Applications close 30 April 2026.
On 2026-01-15, Hong Kong's New Industrialisation Vetting Committee announced it had supported in principle an application from Oriental Materials Hong Kong Limited — a subsidiary of mainland China's Henan Oriental Materials Co. — under the New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme (NIAS). The project will fund new production lines at Yuen Long InnoPark producing and validating front-end semiconductor manufacturing equipment (furnace systems, etching equipment, chemical vapour deposition systems). Total project investment is over HKD 800 million, with the Hong Kong government providing up to HKD 200 million (roughly one-third, per NIAS's 1:2 government:enterprise matching structure). Construction was slated to begin by end-March 2026, with production targeted around June 2027.
The Hong Kong government launched the Frontier Technology Research Support Scheme (FTRSS) on 26 September 2025, a HK$3 billion matching-grant fund administered by the Innovation and Technology Commission. The scheme funds the eight University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities to attract international top-tier researchers and procure research facilities in frontier-technology fields, with each successful application eligible for HK$100-300 million. The government frames the scheme as dovetailing with national strategic planning for frontier technologies; applications closed 25 November 2025 with results expected in H1 2026.
On 2025-06-25, Hong Kong's New Industrialisation Vetting Committee announced it had supported an application from J Cube Semiconductor (Hong Kong) Limited under the New Industrialisation Acceleration Scheme (NIAS) — the third project approved under the scheme. The project will establish production facilities for third-generation (silicon carbide, SiC) semiconductor wafers in Hong Kong, classed under the advanced-manufacturing-technology sector. Total project cost is estimated at over HKD 700 million, with expected NIAS government funding of up to HKD 200 million — the scheme's per-project cap. The same announcement introduced an enhancement measure for the related New Industrialisation Funding Scheme (NIFS).
