A year ago at NVIDIA GTC Paris at VivaTech, France laid out plans to advance local AI, from new AI factories and national compute capacity to open frontier models and industrial platforms.
Key facts
- Join NVIDIA at VivaTech 2026 in Paris, running June 17-20
- TotalEnergies is building Pangea 5, a next-generation supercomputer developed with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA that will increase the company’s computing power to support seismic imaging, advanced

- Meanwhile, Schneider Electric has teamed with NVIDIA to develop blueprints for gigawatt-scale AI factories, helping organizations accelerate AI infrastructure deployment
Summary
Now, that AI infrastructure is coming online. As part of these efforts, Mistral is building a new 44-megawatt data center in Bruyères-le-Ch’tel, a commune in northern France. The NVIDIA Blackwell platform is designed to help AI factories maximize throughput within fixed power budgets, combining higher performance‑per‑watt silicon with software features that boost data center throughput in power‑constrained environments. Mistral is also working with French public investment bank Bpifrance, AI and advanced tech investment company MGX and NVIDIA to expand Campus AI, a network of AI factories anchored by a planned 1.4-gigawatt facility, making it one of Europe’s largest AI campuses.
