In addition to the integrated circuit design industry, Shanghai will also set up a M&A fund for the biomedical industry with a scale of 10 billion yuan."Because the industry is a typical' big money' industry, that is, high risk, long cycle and burning money, the nature of biomedicine also determines that it needs mergers and acquisitions in the current environment to become bigger and stronger."Biomedicine, as one of the leading industries in Shanghai, has a scale of nearly one trillion yuan. In 2023, the industrial scale reached 933.732 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%; Shanghai's biomedical industry chain is relatively complete, with many medical device enterprises and CRO, CMO and CSO enterprises. Therefore, Yuan Shuai believes that the Shanghai Municipal Government will set up a 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry, which is expected to cultivate internationally competitive biomedical enterprises through mergers and acquisitions.
"The government's participation in M&A fund investment does not mean that the government will dominate the M&A business, but encourage market-oriented institutions and chain owners to lead the M&A business through the above-mentioned M&A fund or parent fund support." Bu Rixin believes.A 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry will also be set up."At present, the Yangtze River Delta has many excellent semiconductor enterprises and research institutions, while Shanghai has many top semiconductor design enterprises at home and abroad, such as Quanlun Electronics, Lanqi Technology, Fudan Microelectronics, Weir, Aojie Technology and Ziguang Zhanrui. The establishment of industrial mergers and acquisitions will help to integrate industry resources, promote industry agglomeration, and form a group of design companies with strength and key core technologies. " Yuan Shuai said.
Bu Rixin said that only through mergers and acquisitions and accelerating industrial integration can the benign development of the industry be promoted, which is also one of the most effective measures.In terms of the amount, it is necessary to form a M&A transaction scale of 300 billion yuan, activate the total assets to exceed 2 trillion yuan, and gather 3-5 professional M&A fund managers with strong industry influence. The plan also proposes to make good use of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund and set up a 10 billion yuan biomedical industry M&A fund.
