While advancing its own development, Mistral is also collaborating with MGX and NVIDIA to plan the construction of Europe's largest AI data center park. This project not only supports France's AI sovereignty plan but will also provide strong infrastructure for the entire European artificial intelligence industry, further enhancing Europe's position in the global AI competition.

The founding team of Mistral stated that this financing will be used to accelerate the company's R&D and market expansion, helping it stand out in the competitive AI field. With the continuous growth of global demand for artificial intelligence, Mistral hopes to take this financing opportunity to further expand its product line and enhance its market share.

For investors, Mistral's growth potential is undoubtedly an exciting opportunity. As AI technology develops rapidly and application scenarios continue to increase, Mistral's innovation in open-source large language models and chatbots will attract more attention.

In the upcoming wave of financing, Mistral not only hopes to strengthen its technological advantages but also assist France and the entire Europe in securing a place in the global AI competition, ensuring its strategic sovereignty in this field.
