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.Unlike Shenzhen and Anhui, which made good use of "green channel" policies such as debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, and vigorously developed equity-based M&A funds, this time Shanghai directly gave the scale of M&A funds.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.
"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.A 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry will also be set up.
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.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.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."
