The Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region (MRN) aims to become known and acknowledged as one of the most attractive and competitive regions of Europe by 2025. The MRN is pursuing a target-oriented location marketing policy to live up to this claim.
The key task is to achieve an ideal positioning of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region location and its potential in national and international competition. In addition to developing a competitive location profile based on distinct strengths in the various sectors, value added chains and technologies, this task also involves making a clear differentiation compared with competing economic regions.
The qualities and fields of excellence of the MRN are publically presented regionally, nationally and internationally as a long-term and ongoing undertaking. The level of awareness of the region as an attractive economic location is enhanced by focusing in particular on the competitive investment potential. National and foreign investors, as well as skilled workers, should become interested in the MRN as a location, and companies already resident here should have their decision in favour of the MRN endorsed.
The team represents a cross-section function, obtaining its content from all the locational results relevant to the marketing strategy as a whole that are derived from the MRN's individual projects and fields of activity. All the measures initiated by the Location Marketing team are directed at generating added value for all the regional protagonists.
