Nivdia, Mistral AI teams with MGX, Bpifrance to build Europe’s largest AI campus

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has joined the French artificial intelligence company Mistral AI along with MGX, a United Arab Emirates investment fund, and Bpifrance, a French public investment bank, on a joint venture to establish the largest AI campus on the European continent.

It is expected to come online in Paris in 2028, and eventually boast a 1.4 GW capacity. Construction is slated to begin during the second half of 2026.

“The AI Campus will be a transformational infrastructure for France – built in France, to fuel France in the era of AI,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. “It will revolutionize science, education, and industry.”

It will be Europe’s first “purpose-built intelligence hub” and will support the entire AI lifecycle, including model training and inference and deployment of generative and applied AI systems.

“It will support large-scale AI adoption in fields such as healthcare, mobility, energy, finance, and manufacturing, while advancing Europe’s digital and climate sovereignty,” the companies said.

“Campus AI marks a pivotal step in reinforcing France’s position as a global leader in AI,” said Mistral AI CEO and co-founder Arthur Mensch. “By uniting top-tier expertise and cutting-edge solutions across the entire AI value chain, this initiative aims to foster sustainable AI ecosystems and create tangible benefits for companies, public institutions, and academic players.”

Earlier today, Huang announced a wave of new technologies and partnerships at the Computex 2025 conference in Taiwan to reinforce the company’s dominance in the AI computing space. Last week, it was revealed that Nvidia will send 18,000 semiconductors to the Saudi Arabian AI company Humain for up to a 500 MW data center build out.
