French AI startup Mistral AI is finalizing a €2 billion investment, raising its valuation to $14 billion, making it one of Europe's most valuable tech startups.

Mistral AI is reportedly finalizing a €2 billion investment round that will elevate its valuation to $14 billion. This development positions the French AI startup as one of Europe's most valuable tech companies. Founded in 2023 by Arthur Mensch and former researchers from DeepMind and Meta, Mistral AI focuses on developing open-source language models and a chatbot named Le Chat, tailored for European users.

This funding round marks Mistral AI's first major raise since June 2024, when it was valued at €5.8 billion. The company has previously secured over €1 billion from prominent investors, including Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst. The new investment comes amid a surge in European AI startups, with a significant increase in funding and several companies achieving unicorn status in 2025.

Mistral AI's growth is part of a broader trend of European AI companies gaining momentum, as they seek to compete with dominant AI services from the United States and China. The company is also exploring the establishment of a data center in France, further expanding its infrastructure and service capabilities.
