“The Les Ulis site (Essonne), a new 10 MW facility dedicated to inference operations, is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2026.”

The site, hosted in Digital Realty's Paris South campus with Nvidia GB300 GPUs, was described in August 2026 reporting as coming online in Q3 2026; the quarter has not yet closed.

“We should exceed one billion in revenue by the end of the year [2026] — up from about €300 million of annual recurring revenue reported in September 2025.”

Co-founder and CEO, Mistral AI

Mistral reiterated the ~€1 billion 2026 revenue target at its AI Now Summit in May 2026; full-year figures are not yet available.

“Mistral will reach 200 megawatts of compute capacity across Europe by the end of 2027, building on its 40+ MW Bruyères-le-Châtel site near Paris and its site in Borlänge, Sweden.”

Co-founder and CEO, Mistral AI

In August 2026 Mistral said multi-year enterprise compute commitments (ASML, CMA CGM, Amadeus) would underwrite the build-out; capacity in place so far is roughly 44 MW near Paris, 23 MW in Sweden and 10 MW at Les Ulis.

“Mistral will build compute infrastructure in Europe with a capacity of one gigawatt — equivalent to the output of a nuclear power plant — by 2030.”

Mensch repeated the 1 GW-by-2030 goal after Mistral's July 2026 Microsoft Azure deal and in the August 2026 Mistral Compute expansion; a 1.4 GW campus in France with Nvidia and MGX is planned before 2030.
