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.Big move! Shanghai's 10 billion integrated circuit design industry M&A fund has come.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.
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.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.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.
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.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).Bu Rixin believes that in the past few years, after the IPO tide of semiconductors, especially chip design companies, the IPO dividend period of chip design companies has basically ended. "Except for some large chip fields that have not been completely replaced, there are listed companies in other sub-fields, and these fields have already experienced serious involution at the level of low-end products. In the follow-up, if enterprises in these fields are encouraged to conduct IPOs, it is equivalent to encouraging disorderly competition in the industry. "
