CoreWeave expands into Indonesia with three data centers, first Asia-Pacific sites

AI cloud computing company CoreWeave said it is expanding into Indonesia and adding three new facilities there, marking its first data-center presence in the Asia Pacific region, Reuters reported on Aug 4. CoreWeave will add a total of 360 megawatts of contracted power through the three data centers and will own and operate all three sites. The company said enterprises, AI-native firms, and governments across Asia increasingly need AI compute close to data and users for latency and data locality. The facilities add to a footprint of 49 data centers worldwide as of March. Reuters noted CoreWeave plans to spend between $31 billion and $35 billion this year after raising the lower end of its 2026 capital spending forecast in May amid higher component prices and a memory-chip shortage. The wire also cited multi-billion-dollar cloud deals this year, including an expanded $21 billion deal with Meta and a multi-year agreement with Anthropic.
