Big move! Shanghai's 10 billion integrated circuit design industry M&A fund has come.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.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.
Yuan Shuai, the founder of the new productivity meeting room of Xinzhi School, said in an interview with the reporter of science and technology innovation board Daily that the Yangtze River Delta where Shanghai is located is an important place of integrated circuit industry, and the establishment of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund is a strong support for Shanghai's semiconductor design industry."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."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."
A 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry will also be set up.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).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.
