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

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. This announcement builds directly on the partnership unveiled on 1 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 generation 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 optimised - 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. Emmanuel Le Roux, CEO of Bull: "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."
