CoreWeave announced on October 27, 2026 an expansion of its global AI cloud platform, bringing new computing capacity online in Denmark and extending its Global AI Network backbone into the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
In a news release issued from London, the company said it has brought the majority of its planned 22.5 megawatts of IT capacity online at atNorth’s DEN01 data center in Copenhagen, marking its first deployment in Denmark. The facility is accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell systems connected with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand.
Denmark Deployment at atNorth DEN01
The DEN01 deployment expands CoreWeave’s European infrastructure footprint to nine data centers across five geographies, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, and Norway.
The data center has a heat reuse agreement in place to supply surplus heat to the district heating network. According to the release, the arrangement reduces reliance on alternative heating sources and contributes to Denmark’s green transition.
atNorth chief executive Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson described the partnership in terms of the site’s design. “By partnering with atNorth, CoreWeave gains access to DEN01’s infrastructure, designed for GPU-intensive processing, while supporting renewable energy development through power purchase agreements and helping warm local homes through heat reuse, contributing to the green transition,” he said.
atNorth is headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, and operates seven data centers across the Nordics. The company has four mega sites under development in Kouvola, Finland; Ølgod, Denmark; Sollefteå, Sweden; and Haugaland, Norway, plus an additional metro site under construction in Stockholm, Sweden. The company describes its data centers as running on renewable energy resources and supporting circular economy principles.
Global AI Network Backbone
Alongside the new compute capacity, CoreWeave is extending its global AI network backbone with new points of presence in the United Arab Emirates, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Korea, and Japan. The buildout begins later in the fourth quarter of 2026 and is planned to extend to a full loop in mid-2027. The expansion will extend CoreWeave’s existing network across North America and Europe into four continents.
CoreWeave said it is building the first global AI backbone network purpose-built for AI workloads at Petabit scale, connecting locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
The company described the backbone’s technical design as combining multiple 400 gigabit-per-second connections at each point of presence, hardware-based MACsec encryption to protect data in transit, and redundant network paths designed to maintain performance and reliability across regions. CoreWeave said these capabilities are intended to let customers move large datasets and access computing infrastructure without sacrificing the speed or security their workloads require.
“Our customers need more than access to computing capacity. They need infrastructure that performs reliably at scale and the ability to move data and workloads wherever their business requires,” said Sachin Jain, chief operating officer of CoreWeave. He added that the company is expanding its global infrastructure and the network connecting it together so customers can focus on building and improving AI rather than managing the underlying complexity.
Company Scale and Background
The expansion follows CoreWeave’s recent announcements in Indonesia and India. The company operated 51 data centers worldwide with more than 1.5 gigawatts of active power as of June 30, 2026, and had approximately 4.2 gigawatts of contracted power as of its August 11, 2026 earnings call.
CoreWeave said it has delivered record-breaking MLPerf benchmark results in inference and training, and that it is the only AI cloud to earn the top Platinum ranking in SemiAnalysis ClusterMAX three times in a row. These performance figures are the company’s own reported results.
CoreWeave was established in 2017 and completed its public listing on Nasdaq in March 2025. The company positions itself as a purpose-built AI cloud platform combining computing capacity, networking, and software services, and frames the Denmark deployment and network backbone as part of a fully integrated platform intended to reduce the infrastructure complexity that can slow AI development and deployment.
The new points of presence are scheduled to begin coming online later in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the full network loop planned for completion in mid-2027.
