Bad Friedrichshall – November 03, 2026 -- Bull and Schwarz Digits, the IT and digital division of Schwarz Group, have signed a memorandum of understanding to build a European AI and cloud infrastructure stack covering servers, software platform and integrated system solutions.
The partners target regulated and strategic sectors. Their aim is for customers in these sectors to develop, deploy and scale AI and enterprise computing while sensitive data, infrastructure and operations stay under European jurisdiction and control.
Servers to be built at Bull's Angers plant with liquid cooling
The servers will be manufactured at Bull's Angers facility, using European production capacity for scalable AI infrastructure. Bull contributes Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) expertise and experience implementing large-scale AI systems. Schwarz Digits supplies secure cloud infrastructure through its STACKIT brand.
BullSequana AI platform to launch on STACKIT Marketplace
Listing the BullSequana AI platform on the STACKIT Marketplace is meant to speed up availability for business and public-sector customers. They would access AI software platforms and solutions through an open, modular environment under European legal jurisdiction.
The companies cite fast-growing demand for sovereign cloud, driven by geopolitical developments, regulatory requirements and the wish of companies and authorities for greater digital sovereignty.
Partners plan OCP-based servers, SAP RISE integration and quantum exploration
Bull and Schwarz Digits plan to co-develop server solutions based on Open Compute Project (OCP) standards, combining their infrastructure and engineering expertise. The collaboration is also meant to advance SAP RISE integration and large-scale high-performance computing (HPC) projects. The partners will also explore joint integration of quantum computing.
Bernie Wagner, CRO of Schwarz Digits, said European companies in strategic and regulated industries cannot afford to choose between leading-edge compute power and data sovereignty. Bull CEO Emmanuel Le Roux said the goal is to give European organizations capabilities they can deploy and control themselves.
