Samsung Electronics led the round, co-led by existing backer PSG Equity and the newly formed Scaleup Europe Fund, an EU vehicle managed by EQT. This follows a €1.7bn Series C at €11.7bn valuation led by ASML just twelve months earlier. New investors include Advent, BlackRock-managed funds, and Luxembourg; existing backers like NVIDIA, a16z, Salesforce Ventures and others also participated. Mistral frames its pitch around 'sovereign AI' — building models, compute and products together so customers avoid vendor lock-in — citing over 125 enterprise customers including Airbus, ASML and HSBC, and separately raising $830m in debt for a Paris-area data centre. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
