Microsoft and Mistral Expand Strategic Partnership to Accelerate AI Infrastructure Expansion and Model Deployment in Europe

Microsoft and Mistral are expanding their strategic partnership to bring the latest Mistral models to Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, and Azure.

The deal also includes a multibillion-dollar push to strengthen Europe’s AI infrastructure.

Enterprises and regulated industries will be able to use Mistral models on Microsoft’s AI platforms while keeping data under their own control.

The move is expected to advance AI sovereignty in Europe and speed up adoption.
