CoreWeave has opened its first Asia-Pacific data-center presence with three facilities in Indonesia totaling 360 MW of contracted IT power, the GPU cloud infrastructure company announced.
The expansion comes as demand for AI-capable computing capacity has outpaced supply across the region. Indonesia's location positions the operator to serve customers across Southeast Asia, India and Australia without the latency constraints of North American or European infrastructure. The three facilities represent CoreWeave's first footprint outside North America and Europe.
CoreWeave operates a global network of GPU data centers designed for machine-learning workloads and inference serving. The company raised $200 million in Series B funding in March 2024, valuing it at $2.3 billion. Its customer base spans cloud providers, AI startups and enterprises running large language models and computer-vision applications.
Indonesia has become a focal point for data-center buildout in the region. The country offers lower operating costs than developed Asian markets, access to hydroelectric power in some regions, and regulatory frameworks less restrictive than China. Several hyperscalers and specialized infrastructure operators have announced capacity additions there over the past two years.
CoreWeave's 360 MW commitment to Indonesia is substantial relative to the company's existing footprint. As a private operator without disclosed total global capacity, the figure reflects how quickly GPU-focused infrastructure providers are scaling in response to AI model training and deployment demand. The three-facility structure allows CoreWeave to hedge against single-site risk while building redundancy for customer workloads.
The timing coincides with broader capital deployment into GPU infrastructure globally. Competitors including Lambda Labs and smaller regional operators have also expanded capacity in Southeast Asia. Major cloud providers continue building GPU availability in the region to compete for enterprise AI spend.
CoreWeave's Indonesia launch arrives as the operator bets that regional demand will sustain high rates of load on its infrastructure. The operator is betting that proximity and lower cost will win workloads that might otherwise default to established US or European alternatives. Whether the three facilities reach contracted load within six to twelve months of opening will test whether that bet holds.
