Naver Cloud has partnered with French artificial intelligence (AI) company Mistral AI to target the manufacturing AI market. The two companies plan to expand their collaboration from domestic manufacturing to the global sovereign AI market.
Naver Cloud announced on July 8 that it has established a comprehensive partnership with Mistral AI to pursue opportunities in the manufacturing AI sector.
This agreement aims to enhance their independent sovereign AI business by collaborating as leading AI companies from Asia and Europe. Both companies are members of the Nemotron Alliance, led by NVIDIA, sharing an AI technology ecosystem, and will now intensify joint efforts in the manufacturing AI field.
Immediately following the agreement, the two companies began developing an execution roadmap for launching commercial manufacturing AI services at Naver's second headquarters, '1784.' They plan to continue research and development (R&D) collaboration and technology exchange while jointly identifying AI challenges in the industry and establishing a system to validate and enhance technology in actual manufacturing settings.
Domestic operations will also be pursued. Naver Cloud will provide full-stack AI services, including Mistral AI's latest AI models and platforms, through the Naver Cloud platform. Mistral AI will dispatch field dedicated engineers (FDE) to support technology and resolve issues for domestic clients.
The two companies will initially focus on applying Mistral AI's manufacturing AI use cases, such as real-time quality anomaly detection and component selection optimization, accumulated in European manufacturing environments, to domestic manufacturing settings. This initiative aims to enable domestic manufacturers to utilize global-level manufacturing AI technology without exporting data externally.
Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, stated, "This partnership represents a practical business collaboration that combines Mistral AI's manufacturing-specialized technology, validated in the global market, with Naver Cloud's stable infrastructure. We aim to secure successful references in Korea and continuously expand joint business opportunities in the global sovereign AI market based on this foundation."
