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 19 March 2026 the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) announced the selection of 38 German projects across 12 federal Länder for the IPCEI Advanced Semiconductor Technologies (IPCEI AST) — the next Important Project of Common European Interest on semiconductors under EU State Aid Article 107(3)(b) TFEU. The federal commitment is EUR 3 billion drawn from the Sondervermögen Infrastruktur und Klimaneutralität (SVIK), the EUR 100 bn special-purpose vehicle enacted via SVIKG in September 2025. The 38 selected projects span AI chips and chiplets, photonic integrated circuits, advanced manufacturing equipment, sensor technologies, and power electronics, with approximately one-third being startups and SMEs. The measure operationalises Germany's Microelectronics Strategy (October 2025) at the project-funding layer and is the first major SVIK semiconductor-tranche deployment.
The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved on 12 August 2025 four new semiconductor manufacturing units under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) Phase 1: SiCSem Private Limited (Silicon Carbide compound-semiconductor fab, Odisha, with UK partner Clas-SiC Wafer Fab Ltd.), 3D Glass Solutions Inc. (advanced glass-substrate packaging, Odisha), Continental Device India Private Limited / CDIL (discrete power-semiconductor expansion, Punjab), and Advanced System in Package Technologies / ASIP (OSAT unit with South Korea's APACT Co. Ltd, Andhra Pradesh). Cumulative investment INR 4,600 crore (~USD 525mn); 2,034 skilled jobs at full ramp. This brought total approved ISM Phase 1 projects to 10 across 6 states, with cumulative committed investment of approximately INR 1.60 lakh crore (~USD 18bn).
