Apple plans to open its first European Developer Centre later this year.
Located in Berlin’s Mitte District, this will be Apple’s fifth Developer Centre worldwide, joining locations in Bengaluru, Cupertino, Shanghai, and Singapore.
The Berlin Developer Centre will offer space for in-person sessions, workshops, meetings, and other appointments to help developers “hone their skills and elevate the design, quality, and performance of their apps.”
The facility will feature consultation areas and dedicated labs. Developers will have access to over 250,000 API frameworks, as well as tools for distributing apps and games on the App Store.
Apple noted that its first European hub will build on its ongoing investments and programmes, including the Swift Student Challenge, a network of 19 global Developer Academies, and the Apple Foundation Programmes in Italy and France.
“Europe is home to an extraordinary community of developers who are building apps that create connections, encourage creativity, and drive innovation,” said Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations Susan Prescott.
“We have always believed that when developers have the right tools and resources to do their best work, incredible things follow. That belief is what this centre is built on, and we look forward to seeing what the community continues to develop.”
