Geo-information, i.e. digital data and information with a local reference, is increasingly important in almost all areas of life, business and administration. Route planning and mobility applications, energy supply and infrastructure planning, environmental planning and sustainability, regional development, public services and citizen participation - there is hardly an area that can do without geoinformation technology today.

The "Geoinformation Network of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region e.V." (GeoNet.MRN) is committed to the social benefit, improved accessibility and responsible use of geoinformation. To this end, we network people, promote the interdisciplinary exchange of information and raise awareness of the importance of geoinformation in society. Stakeholders from companies, research institutions and administrations in the Rhine-Neckar region therefore founded the non-profit association "Netzwerk Geoinformation der Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar e.V." (GeoNet.MRN) in 2011.
