Despite govt encouragement + incentives, just how receptive are ICT companies towards mid career changers who have no prior ICT exposure? Do ICT companies see fresh graduates as a better cultural fit?

ICT sector requires all levels of people resources. As long as you are willing to consider trying out new things and be flexible on compensation packages. Focus on entering into the job first and try your best to cope, I’m sure employer could adjust subsequently base on your contribution later.
