CoreWeave said the facilities are scheduled to begin operations in 2028 and will be fully owned and operated by the company
In sum – what to know:
Indonesia expansion – CoreWeave plans three AI data centers totaling 360MW, marking its first infrastructure deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.
Regional strategy – The company will own and operate the compute infrastructure while building a local workforce to manage the facilities.
2028 target – The projects are scheduled to come online in 2028, extending CoreWeave’s global AI infrastructure footprint beyond North America and Europe.
CoreWeave plans to establish three AI-focused data centers in Indonesia with a combined IT capacity of 360MW, marking the cloud infrastructure provider’s first expansion into the Asia-Pacific region.
The company said the facilities are scheduled to begin operations in 2028 and will be fully owned and operated by CoreWeave. In addition to deploying AI compute infrastructure, the company plans to train local operational teams to manage the new facilities.
“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,” Jain added.
CoreWeave has not disclosed where the three facilities will be located or how the planned 360MW of IT capacity will be distributed across the sites.
The investment also reinforces Indonesia’s growing role in Southeast Asia’s AI infrastructure landscape. As previously reported by RCR Wireless News, Structure Research expects Jakarta’s colocation market to grow from $507.2 million in 2025 to $856 million by 2030, supported by renewed investment from Chinese and U.S. hyperscalers as well as AI-native providers. The research firm also noted that more than 65MW of hyperscale colocation capacity was scheduled to come online in Jakarta during 2025, reflecting the city’s increasing importance as a regional AI and cloud infrastructure hub.
CoreWeave had surpassed 1GW of operational data center capacity across nearly 50 facilities, the firm’s chief executive officer Mike Intrator said during the company’s first-quarter FY2026 earnings call. In May, The AI cloud provider said it remains on track to exceed 1.7GW of operational capacity by the end of 2026 and expects to bring the majority of its 3.5GW of contracted power online by the end of 2027, with a longer-term target of reaching up to 8GW by 2030.
During the previous earnings call, Intrator also noted that customer demand is becoming more diversified, with enterprises increasingly signing capacity agreements alongside the company’s traditional customer base of hyperscalers and AI labs.
In September 2025, CoreWeave had announced the launch of CoreWeave Ventures, a new unit designed to invest in companies developing infrastructure, tools, and technologies for artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing.
