The first European Apple Developer Center is opening in Berlin, Germany, expanding Apple's educational initiative to a whole new continent.
Apple Developer Centers are places where Apple can provide developers with resources and assistance to make their apps. After launching in a number of countries, Apple's finally bringing the concept to Europe.
Announced on Wednesday, Europe's first Apple Developer Center will be opening in Berlin. The facility, which will open its doors later in 2026, is located in the Mitte district, which is the heart of the city's startup ecosystem.
The center will give access to Apple experts, as well as hosting events, to educate developers in the country. This includes in-person sessions, workshops, and one-on-one appointments covering all of Apple's platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS.

Consultation areas and dedicated labs will be available for hands-on support from Apple experts, provided in multiple languages. There will also be regular events for developers to improve their skills.
Europe is home to an extraordinary community of developers who are building apps that create connections, encourage creativity, and drive innovation," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.

"We have always believed that when developers have the right tools and resources to do their best work, incredible things follow," Prescott continued. "That belief is what this center is built on, and we look forward to seeing what the community continues to develop."
The initiative in Berlin marks the first instance of an Apple Developer Center launching in Europe. Other centers are located in Bengaluru, Cupertino, Shanghai, and Singapore.
There are also 19 Apple Developer Academies around the world, as well as the Apple Foundation Programs in Italy and France.
