NVIDIA outlined AI projects across France on October 13, including Bull’s plan to manufacture AI servers in Europe. Bull opened a new production building in Angers on October 2; the server systems described by NVIDIA remain planned rather than completed.

What Bull plans to build in Angers

Bull says the new building is part of an €80 million redevelopment of its Angers site and doubles its production capacity. Its October 2 announcement describes an initiative to design and manufacture AI servers in Europe based on NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin NVL72 platform. NVIDIA says Bull plans to produce Vera Rubin Ultra NVL72 systems in 2028; Bull’s statement does not confirm that configuration or production date.

Bull says its factory is expected to deliver the Alice Recoque and LUMI-AI systems in 2027.
