CoreWeave expands into Indonesia, announces first data center in Asia-Pacific

AI cloud computing company CoreWeave said on Tuesday it is expanding into Indonesia and adding three new facilities in the country, marking the firm's first data-center presence in the Asia Pacific region.

CoreWeave has benefited from a surge in demand for AI cloud infrastructure ‌globally, as ⁠tech ⁠companies rush to secure the hardware and cloud capacity needed to develop and run AI systems. The company has been investing heavily in its data-center footprint to cater to the demand.

Here are some details on the expansion:


CoreWeave will add a ​total of 360 megawatts of contracted power ⁠through the ‌three data centers, and will own ​and operate all ​three sites.

"Across Asia, enterprises, AI-native companies, and governments ⁠increasingly need AI compute located close to their data and users, driven by both latency-sensitive workloads and data locality requirements. CoreWeave's move... reflects this shift," the company said.

As part of its Indonesia expansion, CoreWeave will also build and train a local team to operate the new facilities, bolstering the country's AI ambitions. The facilities add to CoreWeave's growing global data-center footprint, with the company operating 49 data centers worldwide as of March.

In ⁠May, CoreWeave raised the lower end of its 2026 capital spending forecast citing higher component prices amid a shortage of memory chips. The company plans to spend between $31 billion and $35 billion this year. The company has struck several multi-billion-dollar cloud deals this year, including an expanded $21 billion deal with Meta and multi-year agreement with Claude creator Anthropic.
