Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch presented 'European AI: A Playbook to Own It' in Brussels on April 8, outlining 22 proposed measures for Europe to build, scale, and deploy AI independently. Key proposals include a fast-track 'Blue Card AI' immigration pathway, a European AI PhD fund, an EU compliance one-stop shop, and a Scaleup Investment Unit passport for cross-border growth. The playbook emphasizes sovereignty as simultaneously a political argument, product differentiator, and sales pitch — targeting Europe's 450M-person single market.
