Apple announced plans Monday for seven facilities in Turkey focused on app development and manufacturing training. Five Developer Academies will open over the next three years, starting in Istanbul in 2027 alongside a Developer Center. A Manufacturing Academy is scheduled to open in Ankara in 2028.

The developer academies will offer free, intensive nine-month programs covering coding, design, marketing, project management and AI. The manufacturing academy, Apple's first outside the US, will provide free training and consultancy on subjects including machine learning, predictive maintenance, automation and robotics.
