"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.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.At the end of the year, Shanghai launched a big action in the field of mergers and acquisitions. Today, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the Action Plan for Shanghai to Support the Merger and Reorganization of Listed Companies (2025-2027) (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).
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.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.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.
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.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.Since then, after continuing to Shenzhen and Anhui, Shanghai has also made efforts in mergers and acquisitions.
