Innovations are the driving force behind the economic development of a society. Therefore, the 'Stiftung Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar' functions as an inspirational institution which focuses on supporting innovations in the Rhine-Neckar region. Since 2001 it awards the MRN Innovation Prize every year to reward outstanding research accomplishments, which are able to distinguish themselves from the competition.
