Apple today announced that it will open Europe’s first Apple Developer Center in Berlin later this year.
The facility joins existing development centers in Bangalore, Cupertino, Shanghai and Singapore. Apple said the Berlin center, located in the Mitte district, will offer developers from across Europe in-person sessions, workshops and one-on-one appointments in multiple languages, with consultation areas and dedicated labs led by Apple experts. Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, said:
Europe is home to an extraordinary community of developers who create applications that connect, encourage creativity and drive innovation. We’ve always believed that when developers are given the right tools and resources to do their best work, incredible things ensue. That belief is what this center is built on, and we can’t wait to see what the community continues to build.
The center will regularly host a cadence of events covering iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS development, aimed at teams of all sizes and at every stage of application development. Apple said the programming aims to help developers improve the design, quality and performance of their apps.
Apple noted that storefronts across Europe hosted more than 150 million average weekly users in 2025 and that eligible developers can access the App Store Small Business program, which offers a reduced commission rate of 15% for small and individual developers.
This announcement builds on Apple’s existing investments in developers in Europe, which include the Swift Student Challenge, 19 Apple Developer Academies worldwide, and Apple Foundation programs in Italy and France. The company highlighted that developers also have access to more than 250,000 APIs in frameworks such as HealthKit, Metal, Core ML, MapKit and SwiftUI.
