In its view, this 10 billion M&A fund is not only 10 billion yuan, but also a way for the government to encourage and guide M&A through the amplification of M&A funds. "In short, whether it is the M&A fund of the integrated circuit design industry or the M&A fund of biomedicine, the core purpose is to guide the orderly development of the industry and avoid the dependence on the IPO path, leading to excessive competition in the industry."Yuan Shuai, the founder of the new productivity meeting room of Xinzhi School, said in an interview with the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is an important place of integrated circuit industry, and the establishment of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund is a strong support for Shanghai's semiconductor design industry.The science and technology innovation board Journal reporter noted that over the past year, a number of semiconductor companies have indeed terminated the IPO process. For example, Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. terminated its IPO nearly 10 months after the meeting. In addition, more than 20 companies in the semiconductor industry also voluntarily withdrew their materials to terminate the IPO after being inspected on the spot.
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."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."Yuan Shuai, the founder of the new productivity meeting room of Xinzhi School, said in an interview with the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is an important place of integrated circuit industry, and the establishment of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund is a strong support for Shanghai's semiconductor design industry.
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 its view, this 10 billion M&A fund is not only 10 billion yuan, but also a way for the government to encourage and guide M&A through the amplification of M&A funds. "In short, whether it is the M&A fund of the integrated circuit design industry or the M&A fund of biomedicine, the core purpose is to guide the orderly development of the industry and avoid the dependence on the IPO path, leading to excessive competition in the industry."It is worth mentioning that the Action Plan also mentioned that if the "chain owner" enterprises carry out mergers and acquisitions around the key links of the industrial chain through enterprise venture capital (CVC), the establishment of CVC funds will be included in the fast track. At the same time, government investment funds can participate in M&A fund investment through common shares, preferred shares and convertible bonds, and make appropriate profits.
