ASML Holding N.V. is investing an additional €400 million in French artificial intelligence firm Mistral AI. This contribution forms part of a €3 billion funding round led by Samsung. The latest investment round values Mistral AI at €21 billion. ASML's participation maintains its ownership stake at approximately 11% to avoid dilution.
The investment strengthens a strategic partnership formed last year when ASML became Mistral’s largest shareholder. ASML plans to integrate Mistral’s AI models into its internal business processes and production lines. The move coincides with surging demand for ASML’s specialized semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Major clients including Samsung and TSMC are currently adopting ASML’s newest High-NA EUV technology to support AI industry growth.
