Mistral secured an anchor group of enterprise backers, including ASML, CMA-CGM, Caisse des Dépôts, Capgemini and Amadeus, to fund its data centre buildout for an AI-focused European cloud. The plan targets 1,000 megawatts of AI compute across Europe by 2030, starting with a $830m loan for a south-of-Paris data centre with 44 MW capacity. The financing and multi-year customer commitments will be converted into European Compute Units, and Mistral will also open its platform to third-party open-weights models and add an option to run inference in the US or Europe.
