Mistral 今日宣布,已完成 D 轮融资,募资 30 亿欧元,投后估值超过 210 亿欧元。这是欧洲科技公司有史以来规模最大的股权融资轮次,此时距该公司成立仅三年。
三星电子领投本轮融资,EQT 旗下管理的 Scaleup Europe Fund 与现有投资方 PSG Equity 联合领投。
本轮融资将大幅扩展 Mistral 的前沿研究——这是支撑其基础设施、产品与主权能力的根基。在让 Mistral 得以扩展算力以训练强大模型的同时,这笔资金也将帮助 Mistral 扩展基础设施,并加速其商业增长与国际化布局。该公司目前业务遍及 20 个国家,支持 125 多家全球企业的关键任务型 AI 转型,其中包括 Airbus、ASML 和 HSBC。
在生成式 AI 的第一波浪潮中,核心问题是谁能构建出最强大的模型。如今,各类组织与政府开始提出另一个问题:如何将 AI 的力量用于自身关键任务需求,同时又不放弃对基础设施与智能闭环的控制权。随着企业与政府在权衡任何 AI 投资所伴随的长期技术依赖、数据治理要求与部署选择,全球对这种“性能与控制、选择与自主兼备”的需求正在日益增长。
Mistral 是全球唯一一家构建完整技术栈来回答这一问题的 AI 公司:开放权重模型、支撑模型运行的基础设施与算力,以及将这些模型投入生产环境的产品;确保客户永远不会被锁定在单一供应商的路线图、定价或可用性之中。
Mistral 的全栈与开放路线还让各类组织能够在构建应用的同时,不将自己最有价值的数据、工作流程和机构知识暴露给自身边界之外的任何一方。这正是 Mistral 技术栈成为主权 AI 层的原因,即在四个维度上保持掌控力:数据始终留在组织边界之内、模型可控且可定制、算力私密且可预测、投入生产的系统完全可控且可审计。
本轮融资体现了来自欧洲、亚洲和北美投资者的战略背书。它汇聚了一支世界级的战略与财务投资者联合阵容,其中包括全球科技领军企业、成长型投资者,以及一路支持 Mistral 发展的现有股东。
在由 ASML 领投的 C 轮和由 Samsung Electronics 领投的 D 轮之后,Mistral 已吸引了先进制造、工程和工业技术前沿企业的支持。这种支持反映出市场日益增强的信心,即 Mistral 的方法能够帮助各类组织在复杂的真实世界环境中部署最先进的 AI,同时保持对其数据、基础设施和知识的掌控。
Advent、贝莱德(BlackRock)管理下的基金及账户,以及卢森堡大公国作为新投资者加入了本轮融资。现有投资者 a16z、ASML、Belfius、法国巴黎银行企业及机构银行(BNP Paribas CIB)、法国国家投资银行(Bpifrance)、Carmignac、DST Global、Eurazeo、General Catalyst、Headline、Hillspire、Index Ventures、Korelya Capital、Lightspeed、NVIDIA、Phoenix Court 旗下 Solar 基金(LocalGlobe、Latitude 和 Solar 所在地)以及 Salesforce Ventures 也参与了本轮融资。
Mistral today announced that it has raised €3 billion in a Series D funding round at a post-money valuation of more than €21 billion, the largest equity fundraising round ever completed by a European technology company, three years after the company's launch.
Samsung Electronics led the round, joined by co-leads Scaleup Europe Fund, managed by EQT, and existing investor PSG Equity.
The round will significantly expand Mistral's frontier research, which is the foundation underpinning its infrastructure, products and sovereignty. While allowing Mistral to scale its compute capacity for training powerful models, it will help Mistral expand infrastructure and accelerate its commercial growth and international footprint. The company now operates across 20 countries and supports 125+ global enterprises’ mission-critical AI transformation, including Airbus, ASML, and HSBC.
During the first wave of generative AI, the central question was who could build the most powerful model. Organizations and governments are now asking a different one: how to harness the power of AI for their mission-critical needs without surrendering control over the infrastructure and intelligence loop. Demand for that combination of performance with control, choice and independence is growing internationally, as enterprises and governments weigh the long-term technology dependencies, data governance requirements and deployment choices that come with any AI investment.
Mistral is the only AI company in the world building the full stack required to answer that question: open-weight models, the infrastructure and the compute capacity they run on, and the products that bring them into production; ensuring that customers are never locked into a single vendor's roadmap, pricing or availability.
Mistral’s full-stack and open approach also allows organizations to build on it without exposing their most valuable data, workflows and institutional knowledge to anyone outside their own walls. That's what makes Mistral’s stack the sovereign AI layer, meaning retaining control across four dimensions: data that stays inside the organization's boundaries, models that are controllable and customizable, compute that is private and predictable, and systems in production that are fully controllable and auditable.
The round reflects a strategic endorsement from investors across Europe, Asia and North America. It brings together a world-class syndicate of strategic and financial investors, including global technology leaders, growth investors and existing shareholders that have supported Mistral’s development to date.
With a Series C led by ASML and a Series D led by Samsung Electronics, Mistral has attracted backing from companies at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, engineering and industrial technology. This support reflects growing confidence that Mistral's approach can help organisations deploy state-of-the-art AI inside complex real-world environments while maintaining control over their data, infrastructure and knowledge.
Advent, funds and accounts managed by BlackRock as well as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg joined the round as new investors. Existing investors a16z, ASML, Belfius, BNP Paribas CIB, Bpifrance, Carmignac, DST Global, Eurazeo, General Catalyst, Headline, Hillspire, Index Ventures, Korelya Capital, Lightspeed, NVIDIA, Phoenix Court's Solar fund (home to LocalGlobe, Latitude and Solar) and Salesforce Ventures participated in the round.
