The "Action Plan" proposes to strive to land a number of representative M&A cases in key industries by 2027, and cultivate about 10 internationally competitive listed companies in key industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine and new materials.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.Since the second half of 2024, there have been frequent large-scale acquisitions in the A-share market, and the biomedical industry has accelerated its integration. For example, China Bio-Pharmaceutical intends to acquire about 55% equity of Haooubo by means of "agreement+offer", Qianhong Pharmaceutical plans to invest 390 million yuan for bankruptcy and reorganization of Fiona Fang Pharmaceutical, Pharmacists help to acquire a piece of medicine, Xinnuowei plans to acquire 100 grams of Shiyao, and Sichuan Shuangma announced the cross-border acquisition of Jianyuan Medicine ...

Bu Rixin, a partner of Chuangdao Investment Consulting, said in an interview with the science and technology innovation board Journal that the 10 billion M&A fund is mainly aimed at the "integrated circuit design industry", which may be related to the end of the IPO dividend period of chip design companies.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.In July this year, when Shanghai promoted the establishment of the parent fund of three leading industries with a total scale of 100 billion yuan, it said that it would focus on the three leading industries of integrated circuits, biomedicine and artificial intelligence, and give play to the functions of "investing early and investing small", industrial investment, merger and acquisition integration, and strengthening the chain, so as to improve the overall energy level and development level of the three leading industries in Shanghai.

Big move! Shanghai's 10 billion integrated circuit design industry M&A fund has come.The "10 billion yuan M&A fund for integrated circuit design industry" stated in the Action Plan is considered by the market as a supplement to the 100 billion yuan parent fund for the three leading industries.For the biomedical industry, Bu Rixin told the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the investment cycle of biomedicine is generally long, and it needs to go through multiple stages from research and development to listing.
