We’re opening new offices in Paris and Munich. These offices will meet growing demand for Claude in EMEA, which is our fastest-growing region: our run-rate revenue here has grown more than ninefold in the past year. European businesses have become some of Claude’s most enthusiastic users. Germany and France both rank in the top 20 countries for Claude use on a per-capita basis. Companies like BMW, SAP, L'Oréal, and Sanofi are now using Claude, alongside digital-native innovators like N26, Pigment, Qonto, Doctolib, and Lovable. Next week, we’ll host founders and business leaders in Paris and Munich. We’re also deepening our commitment to creative and educational communities: we’re partnering with Unaite and TUM.ai on hackathons, and supporting a major exhibition in Berlin next year with Light Art Space. Our new offices in Paris and Munich expand our existing European presence in London, Dublin, and Zurich. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eXyXKBhG

And Brex's Data & Analytics team used Claude Code to build Brex Explorer, a text-to-SQL interface that makes data much easier to find. Read more about Claude Code and Brex: https://lnkd.in/eKW8pj4g

This week we officially opened our first Asia-Pacific office in Tokyo. To mark this milestone, our CEO Dario Amodei met Prime Minister Takaichi and Digital Minister Matsumoto to discuss how we can support Japan's AI ecosystem. We also signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Japan AI Safety Institute to collaborate on AI evaluation methodologies. Building AI responsibly requires international cooperation and shared approaches to testing and assessment. And this week we hosted our first Builder Summit in Tokyo, where we met more than 150 startups and founders building with Claude. An early Claude Code adopter, Japan continues to have our largest user base in APAC. This APAC momentum has been extraordinary—companies like Rakuten, NRI Group, and Panasonic are now using Claude, and our run rate revenue in the region has grown over 10x in the past year. Finally, we're deepening our commitment to Japan's creative community through an extended partnership with the Mori Art Museum, supporting the upcoming Roppongi Crossing 2025 exhibition and future programs exploring art and technology.
