Bull and Foxconn Advance European AI Infrastructure with Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 Platform Built in Europe

As part of their recently unveiled collaboration, Bull, a player in advanced computing and AI, and Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), a world large electronics manufacturer and technology solutions provider, announce a first strategic milestone with the production in Europe of key components for commercialization under the Bull brandThis announcement builds directly on the partnership unveiled on June 2026, which combines Bull’s expertise in AI systems design and deployment with Foxconn’s industrial scale and supply chain capabilities, to manufacture AI infrastructure for AI Factories and AI Cloud providers, from Europe.

With the Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, the partnership moves into execution, bringing its industrial ambition to life through the production of advanced AI systems in Europe, and opening the path to supporting a broader set of technology architectures over time.

Systems will be manufactured and initially tested at Foxconn’s facilities in the Czech Republic, before being assembled, integrated and fully validated at Bull’s factory in Angers, France. Designed for the most demanding AI workloads in the age of Agentic AI, these AI servers and data centres will address the needs of neo-cloud providers, cloud service providers and the emerging gen of AI factories across Europe and beyond.

Beyond hardware, the ability to manage and operate AI infrastructure end-to-end is becoming critical. In this context, Bull is providing the AI software layer with embedded AI use cases and data science expertise to give customers greater control over how systems are deployed, secured and optimized – extending the “made in Europe” model from manufacturing to operations.

Together, these developments reinforce the ambition behind the Bull-Foxconn partnership: anchoring a more resilient and efficient AI supply chain in Europe, with a competitive time to market, while enabling the emergence of scalable, high-performance infrastructure for the region’s most demanding AI workloads.

“The partnership between Bull and Foxconn marked a turning point in the development of European manufacturing capacity for AI infrastructure, bringing together system design, industrialisation and supply chain execution across France and the Czech Republic. Made in Europe to serve Bull’s global AI ambitions, this initiative now takes a further step forward with the introduction of Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72, translating that vision into concrete solutions for the next gen of AI deployments,” said Emmanuel Le Roux, CEO, Bull.

“Foxconn is proud to partner with Bull and Nvidia to help build the foundation for AI factories, sovereign AI and next-gen data center infrastructure in Europe. By combining Bull’s leadership in European supercomputing, Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform, and Foxconn’s global manufacturing and deployment capabilities, we are creating an ecosystem that can accelerate Europe’s AI ambitions and strengthen its long-term technological competitiveness,” said James Wu, VP, Foxconn.

“The collaboration between Bull and Foxconn, built on Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72, is exactly the kind of deep industrial commitment that will underpin the next chapter of AI in Europe. By anchoring high-performance AI manufacturing in France and the Czech Republic, this partnership gives European enterprises, AI factories and cloud providers access to the world’s most advanced compute – on their terms, at scale, and from within Europe. Nvidia is proud to support that ambition,” said Serge Palaric, VP, alliances, global CSP & ISV EMEA, Nvidia.

“This is a decisive step forward for Europe’s digital and industrial sovereignty. With Bull and Foxconn bringing Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72 to life in Europe – and critical capabilities anchored in France – it sets a new benchmark for a resilient, end-to-end European AI supply chain, ready to support the next gen of cloud and AI services,” said  Arnaud Bertrand, CTO, Outscale.

“At Scaleway, we have two obsessions: ensuring immunity from non-European extraterritorial laws and limiting technological dependencies. Thanks to this partnership, Bull is bringing a more European alternative to the market for latest-gen AI servers,” said Damien Lucas, CEO, Scaleway.
