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.In this regard, Bu Rixin believes that "chain owners" enterprises, as market-oriented institutions, set up CVC funds and will carry out horizontal and vertical mergers and acquisitions around the upstream and downstream of key industrial chains. "This kind of M&A will help chain-owner enterprises to expand their market scale and enhance their market competitiveness, which is the most in line with the logic of M&A and the basic logic of the Action Plan to encourage chain-owner enterprises to set up CVC funds."

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.Since then, after continuing to Shenzhen and Anhui, Shanghai has also made efforts in mergers and acquisitions.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.

"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.Big move! Two billion M&A and restructuring funds in Shanghai have come to target the chip and pharmaceutical industries.
