Paris, France – 17 June, 2026 – As part of their recently unveiled collaboration, Bull, a leader in advanced computing and AI, and Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn), the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and leading technology solutions provider, today announce a first strategic milestone with the production in Europe of key components for commercialisation under the Bull brand.
“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 generation of AI deployments.”
Emmanuel Le Roux, CEO of Bull
“Foxconn is proud to partner with Bull and NVIDIA to help build the foundation for AI factories, sovereign AI and next-generation 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.”
James Wu, Foxconn Vice President
“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."
Serge Palaric, Vice President 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 generation of cloud and AI services.”
Arnaud Bertrand, CTO of 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-generation AI servers."
Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway
