Summary
Berlin will host Apple’s first European Developer Center later this year, giving developers across the region in-person sessions, workshops and one-on-one support in multiple languages.
The Mitte facility will include consultation areas and dedicated labs staffed by Apple experts, with regular events covering iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS development.
Apple said the center is meant to help teams of all sizes improve app design, quality and performance as Europe’s App Store storefronts averaged more than 150 million weekly users in 2025.
The Berlin site extends Apple’s broader developer push in Europe, which also includes the 15% Small Business Program rate for eligible developers, Apple Foundation Programs in Italy and France, and 19 Developer Academies worldwide.
