AI cloud firm CoreWeave enters Indonesia with three data centres

AI cloud infrastructure provider CoreWeave is expanding into Indonesia, marking its first data centre presence in the Asia Pacific region as it looks to capture growing demand for artificial intelligence computing capacity across Southeast Asia.

The Nasdaq-listed company will establish three new facilities in Indonesia with a combined 360 megawatts of contracted IT power. The sites are expected to become operational in 2028, with CoreWeave owning and operating the compute environment across all three facilities.

The move represents the company's first infrastructure investment in Asia Pacific, extending its AI cloud platform beyond its existing operations in the US and Europe. The facilities will serve AI laboratories, startups and enterprise customers deploying AI workloads across Southeast Asia.

The expansion comes as demand for AI infrastructure grows across the region, with businesses, AI-native firms and governments increasingly seeking locally hosted computing resources to reduce latency and meet data sovereignty requirements.

"CoreWeave goes where we can bring AI pioneers the capacity, performance, and reliability they need to build and scale their ideas," said Sachin Jain, chief operating officer at CoreWeave.

"Indonesia is investing heavily in AI education and digital capacity, and it's paying off - the country is becoming one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing destinations for global tech investment. Now, this expansion gives enterprises, AI-native companies and governments more compute locally and globally, wherever they need it, to turn that into a competitive advantage."

Beyond infrastructure, the company said it plans to recruit and train a local workforce to operate the new facilities, supporting the development of Indonesia's technical talent pool.

The investment also aligns with Indonesia's ambitions to strengthen domestic digital infrastructure, expand AI capabilities and establish itself as a regional digital economy.

For marketers and brands, the arrival of additional AI cloud infrastructure could improve access to high-performance computing for generative AI applications, customer analytics, personalisation, content creation and other data-intensive marketing technologies, while offering lower-latency services for organisations operating in Southeast Asia.

The Indonesia announcement adds to CoreWeave's expanding global infrastructure footprint. As of 31 March 2026, the company operated 49 data centres worldwide, supported by more than one gigawatt of active power and over 3.5 gigawatts of contracted power for AI workloads.
