Finskgrundade techbolaget Oura vill börsnoteras i USA
Det finskstartade bolaget Oura, som tillverkar smarta ringar som kan mäta hälsodata, har ansökt om börsnotering i USA. Det rapporterar Bloomberg.
Bolagets ringar har ökat kraftigt i popularitet de senaste åren, med allt fler som vill mäta till exempel sömn genom att ha en ring på sig i stället för att sova med en klocka, skriver nyhetsbyrån.
Intäkterna för bolaget har ökat kraftigt – men bolaget gör fortfarande stora förluster. En börsnotering väntas dra in omkring 3 miljarder dollar.
