KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) -- Economically strong provinces must maintain solid foundations and strong resilience against external shocks to help stabilise the overall national economy, as emphasised by Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to China Global Television Network (CGTN).
While taking part in a deliberation with his fellow deputies from the delegation of Jiangsu Province at the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, Xi called on the province to further strengthen its economic resilience, noting that Jiangsu’s economic performance reflects both scale and quality.
In a statement, CGTN reported that Jiangsu has maintained strong momentum with manufacturing as a central pillar.
The province’s manufacturing high-quality development index has ranked first nationwide for five consecutive years, reflecting strong industrial capability and innovation. From advanced equipment and integrated circuits to new energy and biomedicine, Jiangsu’s industrial ecosystem has enabled the province to remain competitive amid global supply chain adjustments.
Domestic demand has also shown strong vitality. A provincial football league has attracted more than 2.43 million spectators in 2025, demonstrating how sports, culture and tourism can stimulate consumption and unlock the potential of the domestic market.
President Xi also stressed that Chinese modernisation is defined by common prosperity for all, highlighting the importance of policies aimed at improving livelihoods.
Among the priorities is employment, with the government expanding work-for-relief programmes to support those facing difficulties in securing jobs. Flexible workers and those in emerging forms of employment will also gain broader access to social security programmes.
China will also implement an income growth plan for urban and rural residents aimed at increasing earnings for lower-income groups, expanding property income channels, and improving remuneration and social security systems.
Meanwhile, the draft government work report outlines measures to strengthen public services and social protection, including raising minimum basic old-age benefits for rural and non-working urban residents, introducing elderly care service vouchers, expanding maternity insurance coverage, and accelerating the development of childcare services.

Eight Sleep Reaches $1.5B Valuation, Accelerates Predictive AI for Health

| Eight Sleep Reaches $1.5B Valuation, Accelerates Predictive AI for Health |
Capital fuels the company's shift from sleep optimization to predictive AI health platform
NEW YORK, March 6 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eight Sleep, the leading sleep technology company, today announced a new strategic round led by Tether Investments, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. The investment will fund Eight Sleep’s expansion from sleep optimization into predictive, AI-driven health — building a system that anticipates disruptions to recovery and intervenes before they occur.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260304029870/en/
The round follows a milestone year. In 2025, Eight Sleep achieved free cash flow positivity while launching three new products — Pod 5, Pod Pillow Cover, and Thermal Blanket — expanding globally to 34 countries, and conducting the most rigorous clinical validation in the company's history. Two peer-reviewed studies show the Pod reduces menopausal hot flashes by 56% and, for the first time in any consumer device, restores the body's natural circadian temperature rhythm during sleep, improving cardiovascular recovery markers.
With Eight Sleep's advancements over the last year, the Company is shifting its focus from sleep optimization to AI-driven preventative health. Eight Sleep is applying predictive intelligence directly to the human body, transforming the bedroom into an intelligent health platform that creates the optimal conditions for recovery before any disruption occurs.
From reactive to predictive: the AI agent
Eight Sleep's Pod tracks biometrics — sleep stages, heart rate, HRV — and automatically adjusts temperature and elevation to improve sleep. Until now, the system has been reactive: reading signals during the night and making real-time adjustments that have been clinically proven to deliver better sleep.
The company is now building a predictive AI agent that anticipates how a user's night will unfold and acts before disruption occurs. The system simulates thousands of scenarios — a warm room, late exercise, a large meal, elevated stress — and optimizes the sleep environment before the user gets into bed.
Eight Sleep’s models are trained on more than one billion hours of real-world sleep data from users in 35+ countries — a proprietary dataset unmatched in scale, diversity, and fidelity. Early pilots of daytime AI-driven guidance have already driven measurable behavior change: nearly half of participants adjusted activity timing, caffeine intake, or sleep schedules based on automated insights.
Expanding into regulated health
Eight Sleep is advancing clinical and regulatory work in the United States, including FDA filings for sleep apnea detection and mitigation. FDA clearance would transform the Pod from a wellness product into a regulated health platform capable of screening, detecting, and intervening at population scale, passively, every night.
"Sleep was just the beginning,” said Matteo Franceschetti, Co-founder and CEO of Eight Sleep. “We've built the most advanced AI-powered health sensing system in the world — one that learns your body better every night and acts on that knowledge. This investment gives us the resources to take that intelligence beyond the bedroom and into every dimension of personal health. What we're building doesn't exist yet — a system that understands your body better each night and acts on that knowledge. Our goal is to build the defining health technology company of this generation."
“We believe advanced personalized AI is the perfect pathway to understand and expand human potential,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Eight Sleep has the potential to define the future of health tech by building intelligence that learns, scales, and evolves directly with humankind, turning advanced AI into practical, everyday insights and enhancements about core human biology. By helping people better understand sleep, recovery, and long-term health, Eight Sleep is laying the groundwork for a new standard in longevity-focused technology that is truly personalized, can function in any condition, directly on-device, resilient, and aligned with how people live. The age of human-first health intelligence has started.”
Investment priorities
The capital will be deployed across three areas: scaling R&D to accelerate predictive model development; expanding clinical trials and regulatory pathways; and deepening global commercial partnerships in priority markets.
About Eight Sleep
Eight Sleep is the first company to bring sleep fitness to the world by combining technology, physiology, and data to unlock deeper sleep and better health. Its products are trusted by professional athletes, including F1 driver Charles Leclerc and top American tennis player Taylor Fritz, business leaders, and health-conscious consumers across the globe. Recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and twice named to TIME's “Best Inventions of the Year,” Eight Sleep continues to redefine the future of sleep. Its products are available in over 34 countries at eightsleep.com.

CIRRUS EXPANDS TO SINGAPORE, ADVANCES NOVEL EYE THERAPIES
KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- Cirrus Therapeutics, a global ocular immunology company, announced several business and pipeline updates to support its strategy of advancing first-in-class and best-in-class therapies for chronic blinding diseases.
The updates include expanding its global footprint to Singapore, forming a strategic partnership with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and unveiling a next-generation retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell therapy as its second pipeline programme.
“Our presence in Singapore well positions us to leverage critical research, clinical development and partnering opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region.
“We look forward to collaborating with A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) and renowned clinician-scientist Dr Xinyi Su to accelerate advancement of cutting-edge ocular medicines, including our differentiated next-generation RPE cell therapy,” said Cirrus Therapeutics Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, Ying Kai Chan in a statement.
The company established a new research and development (R&D) site in Singapore, expanding its infrastructure beyond its United Kingdom science origins and United States presence, gaining access to the Asia-Pacific biopharma market. Si Hui Tan, who previously led the first-in-class liver regeneration programme at Lerna Biopharma, has been appointed as Director, Pipeline and Site Head, Singapore.
Related to the expansion, Cirrus entered into a multi-million dollar strategic collaboration with Singapore’s A*STAR. This partnership is aimed at accelerating the advancement of innovative ophthalmic assets, including Cirrus’ newly unveiled second pipeline programme. The collaboration will be led by A*STAR IMCB Executive Director, Dr Su.
Cirrus unveiled its second pipeline programme, a novel RPE cell therapy designed for the treatment of centre-involving geographic atrophy (GA). This next-generation cell therapy is differentiated, offering the potential for class-leading vision restoration due to its capacity to function and survive in the hostile GA environment.
The company also continues to advance its lead programme—a novel ocular gene therapy aimed at restoring IRAK-M to prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression and preserve central vision.

Open Campus, Le & Associates, and SKALE partner to pilot credential-powered job matching initiative in Vietnam
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, March 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Open Campus, the community-led decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) building the blockchain-powered financial layer for education, today announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Le & Associates and SKALE in relation to the intended launch of a credential-powered job matching initiative focused on the Vietnamese market.
The collaboration will combine Open Campus’s education ecosystem and credential and identity infrastructure with Le & Associates’s recruitment expertise and SKALE’s digital recruitment platform to enable candidates to share verified achievements directly with employers, and allow companies to screen applicants based on validated skills rather than solely self-reported resumes. Further details on the rollout will be announced in due course.

Ms. Pham Thi My Le, founder and chairwoman at Le & Associates, said: “In Vietnam’s fast-moving labor market, candidates and employers often struggle to clearly signal and match skills and capabilities. Verifiable credentials can help bridge this gap by giving employers more trusted information, while enabling candidates to present their achievements with greater clarity and confidence.”
Mr. Truong Binh Nguyen, chief executive officer of SKALE, said: “SKALE is proud to contribute our online recruitment platform to this initiative. By leveraging AI-powered matching and intelligent screening, we seek to accelerate hiring cycles, enhance talent quality, and foster a more transparent and scalable bridge between enterprises and educational institutions.”
Jonah Lau, project lead and core contributor at Open Campus, said: “Vietnam is a market where education, skills, and employment pathways are rapidly evolving. We are excited to collaborate with Le & Associates and SKALE to demonstrate how verifiable credentials can be used in real hiring workflows - helping learners demonstrate what they have achieved and supporting employers to evaluate candidates with more trusted signals of skills and capabilities.”
As the initiative progresses, insights from the pilot will inform future development of credential‑powered recruitment, supporting the wider adoption of Open Campus ID and verifiable credentials across Vietnam’s talent economy.
