JetBrains, the creator of intelligent development tools trusted by 15 million users and 88 of the Fortune Global Top 100, has joined Tech Barcelona as a Global Partner. This partnership is designed to foster deep collaboration within the local ecosystem, creating new opportunities to engage directly with the developers, founders, and builders shaping Barcelona’s tech future.

Since its founding in 2000, Amsterdam-headquartered JetBrains has become a global leader in software development. The company’s portfolio features over 30 products, including premier IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, alongside the JetBrains AI suite (Junie and the code-centric LLM, Mellum). JetBrains also provide essential team tools like YouTrack and TeamCity, and are the creators of Kotlin, a cross-platform language used annually by over 2.5 million developers.

JetBrains is strengthening its footprint in Spain by partnering with Tech Barcelona, Southern Europe’s largest tech association, which represents over 1,500 members and 110 partners. Building on the recent establishment of JetBrains Spain, this alliance represents a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to building a lasting, long-term presence in Barcelona.

According to Daniil Shulgin, Country Manager at JetBrains Spain, “Spain has the talent and the ambition. Partnering with Tech Barcelona is how we put that to work — bringing our expertise in developer tooling to the community and giving local startups the support to reach their next stage.”

Miquel Martí, CEO of Tech Barcelona, stated: “Our goal is to connect the ecosystem with leading developer tools and help startups access the resources and support they need to grow and scale. Working with a European company with global reach like JetBrains adds further strength to this effort.”
