CoreWeave has announced an expansion into Indonesia, marking the AI-focused neocloud's first move into the Asia-Pacific data center market. The company has not disclosed the size of the facility or the capital commitment involved, but the move positions CoreWeave to compete for AI training and inference workloads in a region where hyperscaler investment has been accelerating. Indonesia has attracted significant data center interest in recent years due to its large population and growing digital economy.
