NextDC's P2 data centre in Perth

NEXTDC was founded by Bevan Slattery in May 2010.[2] It has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange since December 2010.[3]

In June 2012, Craig Scroggie was appointed Chief Executive Officer of NEXTDC.

In 2015, NEXTDC was named Australia’s fastest-growing technology company in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards.

In 2024, NEXTDC expanded its national infrastructure footprint with the opening of new facilities including D1 Darwin and A1 Adelaide, extending its interconnection and digital infrastructure platform across Australia.

In December 2025, NEXTDC signed a memorandum of understanding with OpenAI to develop sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure in Australia, including a hyperscale AI campus and large-scale GPU supercluster at the company’s S7 site in Sydney.[4]

In May 2026, NEXTDC launched its launch of KL1 Kuala Lumpur, its first international data centre, establishing a strategic platform to support the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services across Southeast Asia.[5]
