Apple will open seven training and developer facilities in Turkey, expanding its education programs for students and businesses. The investment includes five Apple Developer Academies, a Developer Center in Istanbul, and an Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) in Ankara. Apple will open the five developer academies over the next three years, with the first launching in Istanbul in 2027.
Each will offer a free, nine-month program covering coding, design, marketing, project management, and artificial intelligence. The curriculum will also address accessibility, privacy, and sustainability as students learn app development and entrepreneurship skills. The expansion will add to Apple's existing network of 19 developer academies worldwide.
Apple Chairman and former CEO Tim Cook said the company is proud to support a new generation of entrepreneurs in the coming years. Apple's other Advanced Manufacturing Center is located in Houston, Texas. Istanbul's Developer Center will open in 2027, giving developers and startups access to Apple experts, tools, and technical resources.
Workshops, individual appointments, and events will cover app design, quality, and performance across Apple's platforms. The Ankara AMC will open in 2028, becoming Apple's second such facility and the first outside the United States. Free training and consulting will cover AI, machine learning, predictive maintenance, automation, and robotics for small and medium-sized businesses.
Apple's first AMC opened in Houston, Texas in August. The company invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the project.
