November 11, 2025

In a recent interview with CNBC at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Oura CEO Tom Hale outlined an ambitious forecast for the Finnish wearables company. With an upgraded outlook following a $900 million funding round in October, Oura now expects nearly $2 billion in sales in the upcoming fiscal year.

Strategic Growth And International Expansion

Oura, valued at $11 billion, has experienced rapid growth in recent years. Hale emphasized that the company’s robust performance is largely attributable to its successful market entry with health features tailored to women and its aggressive international expansion strategy. With revenue on track to hit $1 billion in 2025—doubling the 2024 figures—Oura’s revised forecast represents a significant upward adjustment from the previously reported sales projection of over $1.5 billion. Industry observers are closely monitoring these developments as a marker of the company’s aggressive growth trajectory.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence For Preventative Health

Hale described Oura’s integration of artificial intelligence as a core component of its strategy. The company not only offers insights based on wearable data but also employs AI to transform metrics into actionable advice and coaching. The inclusion of the Oura Advisor—a chatbot that acts like a personal doctor—underscores the company’s commitment to delivering personalized, preventative healthcare solutions.

Innovative Partnerships Enhancing Product Capabilities

Oura’s relentless pursuit of innovation is highlighted by its recent partnerships. In 2022, the company joined forces with Natural Cycles to integrate fertility features, building on its established reputation. More recently, collaborations have enabled the addition of glucose monitoring through a partnership with Dexcom (read more), and the company announced new blood pressure research (details here). These strategic moves position Oura as a comprehensive guardian for long-term health—a role that continues to drive its sales performance as it nears a landmark of 5.5 million rings sold since 2015.

Looking To The Future

Despite these bold ambitions and breakthrough innovations, Hale confirmed that there are no immediate plans for an IPO. Instead, the focus remains on leveraging technological advancements such as AI to further cement Oura’s stature in the global wearable tech market.

As Oura continues to blend cutting-edge technology with health and wellness, the company’s forward-looking strategy not only signifies its capacity to achieve near $2 billion in sales but also reflects a broader trend where tech and healthcare converge to deliver personalized benefits to consumers.

Strategic Partnership Enhances Tourism Prospects

The Cyprus Tourism Authority (EOT Cyprus) presented proposals for summer 2026 focused on strengthening tourism cooperation between Cyprus and Greece, with joint efforts aimed at attracting visitors from long-haul markets.

Greece: The Top Destination For Cypriot Travelers

At an event on April 28, Athena Spakouri, Director of EOT Cyprus, said Greece is expected to remain the main travel destination for Cypriot residents, with plans extending beyond established locations to include lesser-known regions. This approach reflects a broader effort to diversify travel options while maintaining strong demand between the two countries.

Complementary Destinations, Unified Vision

Building on this, Spakouri noted that Cyprus and Greece offer complementary tourism experiences rather than competing directly. Joint programmes are therefore being positioned to attract visitors from markets such as the United States and China, while tourism activity continues to be assessed in the context of broader geopolitical developments.

Robust Air And Sea Connectivity

Supporting this cooperation, Konstantinos Kollias said around 600,000 Cypriots travelled to Greece in 2025. Frequent flights, short travel times, and ferry connections between Limassol and Piraeus continue to facilitate movement between the two countries and sustain travel flows.

Diverse Tourism Offerings for a New Era

Konstantinos Kollias highlighted that Greece’s tourism portfolio spans from traditional seaside holidays to sectors such as cultural, religious, gastronomic, agritourism, ecotourism, spa, conference, and medical tourism.

This range reflects the expansion of tourism offerings across different segments and travel preferences. In parallel, Joseph Iosif referred to Greece as a “second homeland” for Cypriot travellers, pointing to longstanding cultural and travel links between the two countries.

Innovative Programs And Strengthened Connections

Building on this approach, the EOT strategy includes initiatives focused on gastronomic routes, cultural trails, thematic and religious tourism, as well as curated city breaks in destinations such as Athens and Thessaloniki. These programmes were presented at the event alongside references to historical, cultural, and religious connections between Cyprus and Greece, including remarks from Bishop Gregorios of Mesaoria.

Boosting Air Connectivity And Island Accessibility

At the same time, airlines including Aegean Airlines, Sky Express, and Cyprus Airways outlined plans to expand connections between Cyprus and Greece, with a focus on increasing access to island destinations. The event also brought together stakeholders from the Deputy Ministry of Tourism, Hermes Airports, tour operators, and ACTAA, reflecting coordination across different parts of the tourism sector.
