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 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.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.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.

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.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 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.
