Bull and Foxconn advance European AI infrastructure with NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform built in Europe

Bull, a leader in advanced computing, and Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, have begun producing key components for AI infrastructure in Europe under the Bull brand. This follows their June 2026 partnership, combining Bull’s AI expertise with Foxconn’s manufacturing scale to create AI systems for cloud providers and AI factories. The collaboration focuses on the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, designed for high-demand AI workloads like Agentic AI. Production will start at Foxconn’s Czech facilities before moving to Bull’s Angers, France, factory for final assembly and validation. These systems aim to support neo-cloud providers, cloud services, and AI factories across Europe. Beyond hardware, Bull is integrating AI software layers to enhance system deployment, security, and optimization, extending the ‘made in Europe’ model to operations. The partnership seeks to strengthen Europe’s AI supply chain, reduce time-to-market, and enable scalable infrastructure for advanced AI workloads. Foxconn’s James Wu emphasized the collaboration’s role in advancing AI factories and sovereign AI in Europe, combining Bull’s supercomputing leadership with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and Foxconn’s global manufacturing. NVIDIA’s Serge Palaric highlighted the partnership’s potential to provide European enterprises with cutting-edge compute solutions locally. Bull’s CEO Emmanuel Le Roux called the initiative a turning point for European AI manufacturing, bridging system design, industrialization, and supply chain execution. The project aligns with broader goals of digital sovereignty and technological competitiveness in the region.
