法国AI领军企业Mistral投资百亿克朗在瑞典建设数据中心,助推欧洲AI自主化进程

在欧洲积极寻求人工智能(AI)领域战略自主的背景下,法国AI明星公司Mistral AI近日宣布一项重大投资计划。该公司将投入约143亿瑞典克朗(约合1.43亿美元),在瑞典中部博朗厄市与当地公司EcoDataCenter合作,建设其首个位于法国以外的大型AI数据中心。该设施计划于明年投入运营。

此举被视为欧洲构建本土化、完整AI技术栈的关键一步。Mistral AI联合创始人兼首席执行官阿尔蒂尔·曼施表示,此项投资旨在通过提供完全在欧洲本土处理与存储数据的垂直解决方案,切实增强欧洲的战略自主权和竞争力,为服务欧洲工业、公共机构和研究人员的“欧洲AI云”奠定基础。

作为2023年成立即获巨额融资、估值已达60亿美元的欧洲AI领军者,Mistral此次基础设施布局意义深远。项目选址的博朗厄数据中心将采用英伟达Vera Rubin GPU,并注重使用可再生能源和先进冷却技术以实现可持续运营,其设计具备显著的可扩展潜力。

当前,欧洲正成为全球AI基础设施竞赛的热点区域。此前,美国科技巨头已相继宣布多项大规模投资计划,包括OpenAI在挪威纳尔维克的“星门”项目、微软在英国和葡萄牙的数据中心建设,以及谷歌在德国的巨额投资。Mistral的此次投资,是欧洲本土力量在面对国际竞争与地缘政治不确定性时,强化自身AI供应链与算力自主性的明确回应。

这笔资金投入是欧洲迈向AI主权的重要一步。
法国AI供应商Mistral计划投资14.3亿美元在瑞典建设AI数字基础设施。这家成立于2023年的初创企业首次重大投资,将在瑞典中部博朗厄市的本地企业EcoDataCenter园区内建造AI数据中心。

EcoDataCenter官网声明证实,Mistral将在博朗厄设施部署大规模算力,实现其基础模型的大规模运营。该数据中心位于斯德哥尔摩西北约130英里处,预计明年投入运营。
虽然这对瑞典是重要进展,但对Mistral乃至欧洲整体AI布局而言意义更为深远。

这家总部位于巴黎的企业凭借雄厚资金已成为欧洲领先的AI供应商——去年9月由荷兰阿斯麦领投的20亿美元C轮融资使其估值达60亿美元。然而,博朗厄项目是该供应商在法国以外的首个重大AI基础设施投资。

Mistral将此次合作视为构建全欧洲AI技术栈的关键节点。在地缘政治格局不确定的背景下,欧洲大陆许多人士认为这比依赖中美技术更符合发展需求。
Mistral AI首席执行官兼联合创始人亚瑟·门施在声明中表示:"这项投资是欧洲构建AI专用独立能力的具体举措。通过提供数据本地化处理存储的垂直解决方案,我们正增强欧洲的战略自主性与竞争力。"
他补充道:"这为服务工业、公共机构和研究人员的大规模欧洲AI云奠定了基石。"

EcoDataCenter将负责瑞典AI设施所需基础设施的建设和运营。如其公司名称所示,该项目将聚焦可持续性,采用可再生能源与先进冷却技术。博朗厄中心将搭载英伟达Vera Rubin GPU,据称具备显著扩展潜力。

Mistral强化欧洲AI自主性的举措,是在美国主要AI企业近期多次行动后推出的。
2025年7月,OpenAI宣布在挪威纳尔维克建设巨型数据中心的计划,该计划隶属于2025年1月由前总统唐纳德·特朗普与甲骨文执行董事长拉里·埃里森、软银首席执行官孙正义及OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼共同发起的5000亿美元"星门"AI基础设施项目。

微软已承诺投资300亿美元发展英国AI基础设施(包括在埃塞克斯郡建设该国最大超级计算机),另投入100亿美元在葡萄牙建设数据中心。
与此同时,谷歌承诺投资约64亿美元提升德国AI基础设施,包括在法兰克福附近新建数据中心。

Choosing Your First Generative AI Use Cases
To get started with generative AI, first focus on areas that can improve human experiences with information.
The cash commitment is a move toward sovereign AI in Europe.
French AI vendor Mistral is set to spend $1.43 billion to develop digital infrastructure for AI in Sweden.
The 2023 startup's first major investment will be to build an AI data center at local company EcoDataCenter's site in Borlänge, central Sweden.
A statement posted on EcoDataCenter's website confirmed Mistral will deploy large-scale compute at the Borlänge facility, enabling operation of its foundation models at scale. The data center, located around 130 miles northwest of the capital, Stockholm, is scheduled to open next year.
While an important development for Sweden, it's arguably an even more significant one for Mistral and Europe's AI rollout as a whole.
The Paris-based company has established itself as Europe’s leading AI vendor on the back of heavy funding, with the Netherlands’ ASML Holding NV leading a $2 billion Series C round last September that valued Mistral at $6B. However, the Borlänge project is the vendor's first major AI infrastructure investment outside of France.
Mistral sees the collaboration as a key moment in the effort to deliver a fully European AI stack -- a scenario many on the continent think is desirable, rather than relying on American and Chinese tech, amid an uncertain geopolitical landscape.
"This investment is a concrete step toward building independent capabilities in Europe, dedicated to AI," Arthur Mensch, CEO and co-founder of Mistral AI, said in a release. "By delivering a fully vertical offer with locally processed and stored data, we are reinforcing Europe's strategic autonomy and competitiveness."
He added: "This lays the foundation for a European AI cloud that can serve industries, public institutions, and researchers at scale."
EcoDataCenter's role will be to build and operate the infrastructure required for AI facilities in Sweden, and as the company name suggests, there will be a focus on sustainability using renewable energy and advanced cooling techniques. The Borlänge center will use Nvidia's Vera Rubin GPUs and is said to offer significant scalability potential.
Mistral’s desire to bolster Europe's AI autonomy follows several moves by the U.S.-based major AI players on the continent.
In July 2025, OpenAI revealed plans for a huge data center in Narvik, Norway, as part of the Stargate initiative, the $500 billion AI infrastructure project launched in January 2025 by President Donald Trump with Oracle executive chairman Larry Ellison, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Microsoft has pledged $30 billion to develop the U.K.'s AI infrastructure — including building the country’s largest supercomputer at a site in Essex — and another $10 billion to build a data center in Portugal.
Google, meanwhile, has committed to invest about $6.4 billion to boost Germany's AI infrastructure, including the construction of a new data center near Frankfurt.
