Bull has secured a five-year, €30 million contract to deliver AI-optimised infrastructure for the Mimer AI Factory in Sweden. The project is being carried out in collaboration with EuroHPC JU and is co-funded by the Digital Europe Programme and the Swedish Research Council. The system will be deployed at NAISS (National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden) to support the expansion of the Mimer AI Factory and contribute to Europe’s broader AI capabilities.
Launched in 2025, the Mimer AI Factory provides access to advanced computing resources for both industry and research across areas including life sciences, materials science, autonomous systems, and gaming. It currently supports more than 200 companies and is experiencing increasing demand, particularly from SMEs and startups seeking scalable and secure AI-optimised computing capacity.
Under the contract, Bull will deliver an integrated AI infrastructure combining cloud-enabled supercomputing resources, advanced software layers, and specialist expertise to support the development and deployment of AI use cases. The company will also provide maintenance, support, and training programmes for NAISS teams and end users, enabling progression from infrastructure access to operational AI development.
The system will be based on Bull’s BullSequana XH3500 supercomputing architecture, designed for AI workloads. It will be delivered with cloud-style access to improve flexibility and broaden access to AI capabilities. The infrastructure will also use Bull’s direct liquid cooling technology to improve energy efficiency and support long-term operation.
In addition, Bull will deploy its BullSequana AI platform, which combines data and AI software capabilities developed in Europe to support the development, governance, and deployment of AI solutions. The platform includes preconfigured AI environments intended to allow researchers, startups, and SMEs to focus on application development rather than infrastructure management.
The project is intended to support the use of AI across research, industry, and public sector applications, including the development of sovereign language models and work in areas such as life sciences and autonomous systems.
