Get smart on it
CoreWeave, an AI infrastructure provider, is expanding into Indonesia with plans for three data center facilities that will begin operating in 2028. The company is building regional capacity to reduce latency and meet data residency requirements as AI adoption spreads beyond North America and Europe into Southeast Asia. This expansion represents CoreWeave's transition from a primarily North American and European player into a global AI infrastructure platform that can compete with larger hyperscale cloud providers. Indonesia was chosen over more established regional markets because it offers government and private investment in digital infrastructure, a growing AI ecosystem, and scalable advantages for data center development.
