## Summary

On 28 September 2026, Mistral AI announced the opening of a Munich hub dedicated to physical and industrial AI, with research teams and engineers serving corporate partners. The company is working with BMW on crash simulations and engineering AI, and with Siemens Energy on industrial AI applications. The development builds on the acquisition of Emmi AI in May 2026, which brought in more than 30 specialist physicists and engineers. Mistral has also formed a research partnership with the Technical University Munich on digital twins for automotive aerodynamics, and plans one gigawatt of European computing capacity by 2030 to provide a sovereign infrastructure. German political leaders welcomed the initiative as a signal for European technological sovereignty.
