Mistral AI is expanding its presence in Singapore through a partnership with Home Team Science and Technology Agency (HTX) and collaborations with Singtel, NCS, and ST Engineering.

The company signed a strategic partnership for innovation agreement with HTX to develop artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for public safety.

Under the agreement, Mistral AI will provide the agency with infrastructure for high-performance inference and model fine-tuning, alongside developer tools to support application development.

Separately, the group has entered memoranda of understanding with Singtel, NCS, and ST Engineering to scale the deployment of its AI models across enterprise and mission-critical environments.

With Singtel, the company will work with its RE:AI sovereign cloud unit to develop industry-specific use cases across sectors, including financial services, defence and healthcare.

The partnership also includes plans to establish an applied AI centre of excellence to support prototyping and deployment.

Mistral AI’s partnership with NCS will focus on delivering solutions for organisations operating in regulated environments such as healthcare, transport and telecommunications.

Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch said the expansion reflects the company’s view of Singapore as a key market for AI development.

“We are entering a defining phase of growth across Singapore, where we see a unique opportunity to shape how AI is built, governed, and applied at scale,“ Mensch added.
