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."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.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.

However, in the field of large chips such as GPU, it has not yet run out of listed companies. It can be seen that Moore Thread, Biwa Technology, Suiyuan Technology, etc. have started the listing counseling process one after another.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."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."

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.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."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."
