The relaunch supports Bull’s transition toward independence following a share purchase agreement with the French State and reinforces its focus on sustainability, technological sovereignty, and end-to-end digital control.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 30-Jan-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Bull has officially relaunched as a global brand in advanced computing and artificial intelligence, marking the return of a historically significant technology name redefined for a new generation. The relaunch positions Bull as a leader in high-performance computing, AI, and quantum innovation, with a clear ambition to support a more responsible digital future built on sustainability, technological sovereignty, and tangible real-world outcomes.

The revival of Bull represents a major strategic milestone as the company progresses toward becoming a fully private and independent entity. This transition follows the signing of a share purchase agreement with the French State on 31 July 2025. The transaction, expected to close in the first half of 2026, is designed to support Bull’s long-term vision by enabling faster innovation and investment in powerful, open, and environmentally responsible digital technologies.

With a workforce of more than 2,500 engineers and specialists, Bull operates at scale across high-value technology domains. Anchored in Europe and holding strong positions in Latin America and India, the company combines deep European industrial heritage with world-class research and development capabilities. Its innovation portfolio is supported by more than 1,500 patents and complemented by unique manufacturing expertise, enabling governments and industries to retain control over their data and AI infrastructures while advancing scientific and economic progress.

Building on more than a century of experience in computing and data science, Bull stands out as the only European player capable of designing, manufacturing, and deploying both hardware and software while also delivering strategic services. This end-to-end capability allows the company to support enterprise transformation, accelerate scientific discovery, and address complex societal challenges through advanced digital systems.

Bull’s integrated approach spans the full technology stack, from chip integration and high-performance interconnect design to AI platforms and applied solutions. The company delivers industrial-grade robustness for mission-critical sectors such as defence and energy, while also achieving industry-leading green HPC performance to reduce total cost of ownership and environmental impact. This combination enables secure, scalable, and sovereign AI deployment aligned with Europe’s strategic priorities.

Emmanuel Le Roux, Senior Vice President and Head of Bull, said the relaunch reconnects the company with its technological roots while setting a clear course for the future. He emphasised that Bull’s mission is to deliver powerful, sustainable, and sovereign computing and AI technologies that allow nations and industries to innovate with confidence, resilience, and long-term purpose.
