A | 8 月 25 日消息，据彭博社报道，芬兰智能戒指制造商 Oura 正计划最早于下个月在美国进行 IPO，拟募集最多 30 亿美元（注：现汇率约合 201.87 亿元人民币），并寻求超过 160 亿美元（现汇率约合 1,076.66 亿元人民币）的估值。
B | Berlin, Oct 20 (UNI) The second delegation of German lawmakers in a month, led by Peter Heidt, a politician from the Free Democratic Party, will visit Taiwan from October 23-26 to discuss human rights issues, the island's foreign ministry said on Thursday.
"A delegation from the Bundestag's [German parliament's] human rights committee led by the member of parliament, Peter Heidt, will visit Taiwan from October 23-26. This is the second official delegation from the German parliament in a month," the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Germany's six-member delegation, which will include members of various political parties, is scheduled to meet with the head of the island's administration, Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwanese Foreign Minister Jaushieh Joseph Wu, and Chen Chu, the head of the National Human Rights Commission.
As part of the trip, the delegation will also visit the National Taiwan Human Rights Museum and discuss human rights cooperation with local non-governmental organizations and think tanks.
The first delegation from the German parliament in three years visited the island from October 2-6. The group included seven lawmakers and was headed by Klaus-Peter Wilsch, the head of the parliamentary group responsible for relations with Taipei. Germany became the second European country after France to send a delegation to the island since the deterioration of the environment in the Taiwan Strait.
The situation around Taiwan escalated after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the island in early August. Beijing condemned Pelosi's trip, which it regarded as a gesture of support for separatism, and launched large-scale military exercises in the vicinity of the island. Despite this fact, several countries, including France, Germany, the United States, Japan and others, have sent their delegations to the island since then, further increasing tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan has been governed independently from mainland China since 1949. Beijing views the island as its province, while Taiwan — a territory with its own elected government — maintains that it is an autonomous country but stops short of declaring independence. Beijing opposes any official contacts of foreign states with Taipei and considers Chinese sovereignty over the island indisputable.
UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。这家公司拥有 900 多名员工、在旧金山和芬兰设有办公室，投资者预计将在此次发行中出售大量股份。
C | 如果最终达到 160 亿美元（现汇率约合 1,076.66 亿元人民币）的估值，Oura 的估值将较去年 9 月大幅提升。当时，Oura 完成了 8.75 亿美元（现汇率约合 58.88 亿元人民币）的 E 轮融资，公司估值达到 109 亿美元（现汇率约合 733.47 亿元人民币）。
D | 该轮融资由 Fidelity、ICONIQ、Whale Rock 和 Atreides 等机构领投，此前的投资者还包括 Dexcom、The Chernin Group、Forerunner Ventures、Coatue 和淡马锡等。
E | 可穿戴设备市场正在迅速变得拥挤。三星在两年前推出了自己的智能戒指 Galaxy Ring。不过，Oura 最直接的竞争对手可能是健身手环厂商 Whoop，后者近年来也经历了业务转型。Whoop 最初主要面向顶级运动员和年轻男性，将产品定位为运动表现监测工具。过去一年，该公司开始吸引更加广泛的消费者，并加入围绝经期和甲状腺健康相关的激素追踪及血液检测功能。这一转型推动 Whoop 在今年 3 月的估值升至 100 亿美元（现汇率约合 672.91 亿元人民币）。Oura 也走上了类似的发展道路。公司最初主要面向热衷“生物黑客”的企业高管，如今已经逐渐转型为面向大众市场的睡眠与恢复健康品牌。
F | 今年 5 月，Oura 宣布已经秘密提交 IPO 申请。不过，Oura 最近获得的关注并非都是正面的。上周，一起拟议中的集体诉讼在旧金山提起，指控 Oura 就其睡眠追踪功能的准确性误导消费者。诉讼文件提出了多项指控，其中包括 Oura 不仅宣称产品能够“测量心跳或体温”，还声称可以判断佩戴者所处的具体睡眠阶段。然而，原告认为，准确判断睡眠阶段实际上需要在头皮上安装电极、在眼睛附近安装传感器，通常只有医院或其他临床环境才能做到。Oura 周末向 TechCrunch 发表声明，对诉讼中的相关指控予以反驳。公司表示将“在适当的法律程序中进行抗辩”，并强调：“虽然 Oura Ring 并非医疗器械，也不能替代临床睡眠检测，但 Oura 的睡眠分期功能已经经过验证，并在多项研究中与作为行业金标准的多导睡眠监测进行了比较，结果表现良好。
G | ”Oura 还表示，多项来自第三方独立机构的研究都支持其关于准确性的说法，公司也一直透明地披露用于睡眠分期的相关机制和测量指标。
