These are the European startups Nvidia backed in 2025, as it ramped up investing in the continent’s AI companies

• In 2025, Nvidia hugely upped its investments in European tech companies, taking part in 14 funding rounds, compared to seven in 2024.
• The chip giant invested in leading European startups, including Mistral, Revolut and Lovable.
• The investments “mirror its broader, global strategy of taking its excess cash and reinvesting in the AI ecosystem across a host of startups,” an analyst told CNBC.

Nvidia has become something of an AI kingmaker as hyperscalers rush to build out AI capacity. It’s also got cash to burn and has ratcheted up its investments in European startups.
