Italian Premier Matteo Renzi on his
Facebook page Thursday announced that Apple plans to open its
new iOS Developer Academy on the San Giovanni a Teduccio campus
of the University of Naples Federico II on the city's eastern
outskirts.
"(The Academy) will involve the entire university system,
opening the doors to hundreds of students. The Academy courses
will be free and there will be scholarships for some of the
students," Renzi wrote.
"We're very satisfied. Naples and Italy's south are
fantastic places for training and investment".
Renzi recalled that the initial announcement of Naples as
the location for Apple's first Developer Academy in Europe came
in January when Apple CEO Tim Cook visited Palazzo Chigi.
"After months of site inspections, Apple has finally chosen
its institutional partner and place: the Federico II university
campus. My compliments above all to Rector Gaetano Manfredi,"
Renzi wrote.
"I'm certain that the local business structure will know
how to support and sustain this great opportunity".
