US-based AI cloud platform CoreWeave, Inc. announced yesterday its debut in Indonesia with plans to build three data center facilities totalling 360 megawatts of contracted IT power. The move also marks its first data center presence in the Asia-Pacific region, according to the firm’s press release yesterday.
CoreWeave will own and operate the compute environment across all three sites which are expected to come online in 2028. This will meet booming demand for AI workloads in the region.
The company said 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 into Indonesia reflects this shift, extending the company’s ability to serve AI pioneers in the Asia-Pacific region,” the statement said.
“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, 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.”
In addition to the physical buildout, CoreWeave plans to build and train an on-the-ground team in Indonesia to operate the new facilities.
As of March 31, 2026, CoreWeave operated 49 data centers globally, with more than 1GW of active power and over 3.5GW of contracted power.
