Nebius, an Amsterdam headquartered AI cloud company, has announced the expansion of its operations in the Asia-Pacific region as it seeks to capture surging global demand for purpose-built AI infrastructure. The company already has a presence in Europe, and the US.
The company serves AI builders and enterprises worldwide, across industries including healthcare and life sciences, robotics and physical AI, financial services, media & entertainment, retail and many others.
To oversee its ambitious growth plans in APAC, the company has appointed John Haarer as General Manager for Asia-Pacific and Japan. Nebius is eyeing key markets including Singapore, Japan, South Korea and India.
“Over the past year we have taken our first steps into Asian markets, winning our first customers and building the foundations for rapid expansion in the region,” said Marc Boroditsky, Chief Revenue Officer at Nebius.
“Asia is one of the world’s most exciting regions for AI, and Nebius is the cloud that is powering the next wave of AI innovation,” said John Haarer, General Manager for Asia-Pacific and Japan. “As we ramp up in Asia, I look forward to helping our partners, customers and local governments across the region navigate their AI bottlenecks and transform the promise of AI into tangible economic value.”
At present Nebius has multi-year AI infrastructure agreements with Microsoft and Meta. The company has US$ 3.7 billion in cash and is targeting annualized run-rate revenue of $7 billion to US$ 9 billion by end of 2026.
