NTT DATA, digital business and technology services, and Mistral AI, a rising innovator in generative AI (GenAI) models, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration aims to deploy secure, private, enterprise-grade AI solutions to support clients’ strategic autonomy.

The companies will integrate NTT DATA’s broad GenAI and IT services with Mistral AI’s high-performance models. These solutions are designed to deliver efficiency, privacy, and performance across industries.

The initial focus will include:
• Co-developing sustainable and secure private AI for regulated sectors such as financial services, insurance, defense, and the public sector.
• Integrating Mistral AI technologies into NTT DATA’s customer experience platforms, starting with agentic AI call centers in Europe and Asia Pacific.

NTT DATA and Mistral AI also revealed plans for regional go-to-market strategies in countries such as France, Luxembourg, Spain, Singapore, and Australia. Services will include use-case development, implementation, and support.

To accelerate delivery, NTT DATA will launch a Mistral AI Center of Excellence, staffed by experts. Mistral AI will also introduce a technical enablement and certification program for NTT DATA teams.

Abhijit Dubey, CEO and Chief AI Officer at NTT DATA, said the partnership supports the company’s mission to drive client success and innovation through responsible AI. He emphasized the combined strengths of Mistral’s models and NTT DATA’s Smart AI Agent™ Ecosystem.

Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI, added that the collaboration will bring next-generation AI solutions into real-world business use, with a strong emphasis on data privacy.

In an early joint project, Dennemeyer selected NTT DATA and Mistral AI to develop an AI-powered application for patent searches and analysis.

Another initiative will see NTT DATA Luxembourg and Mistral AI co-develop a sovereign AI platform for financial and insurance clients in Luxembourg.

Olivier Posty, Head of France and Luxembourg at NTT DATA, said the project will accelerate AI adoption across regulated markets and provide infrastructure for critical financial applications.
