Nuremberg Metropolitan Region 2014 Economic Growth: First Place Brookings Institution: profits from competitive sectors of industry at home instead of increased transfer to the Far East Nuremberg Munich Hanover Brunswick-Wolfsburg Karlsruhe Bremen Leipzig-Halle Hamburg Stuttgart Berlin Bielefeld-Detmold Frankfurt Cologne-Dusseldorf Saarbrücken The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region boasts a strong economy! Brookings Institution: Among the major regions in Germany – with 52 per cent of the population and 57 per cent of GDP – economic growth in 2014 varied a lot: Nuremberg and Munich showed the highest growth rates. Since 2000, Nuremberg and Munich have been among the German regions with the strongest economic growth. In particular, manufacturing industries are characterised by above-average growth rates. This is due to a strong, globally competitive sector of industry, while in other regions, many companies have transferred their production sites to the Far East. /blogs/the-avenue/posts/2014/11/17-german-economic-growth-parilla-berube Germany 0,0 % 0,5 % 1,0 % 1,5 % 2,0 % Source: Brookings Institution, 2014

10 Urban-Rural Partnership
Nuremberg Metropolitan Region Urban-Rural Partnership A network with many strong nodes as key prerequisite for global visibility of its towns, cities and regions and for a sustainable quality of life. … enhancing Europe‘s radiant power together! The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region is polycentric, i.e. there is no dominant city defining the region, as in the case of Rome or Paris. Only by cooperating do we have the chance to shine our many little torches into the sky and focus them into a beam which is widely visible: Nuremberg Metropolitan Region puts us on the world map, and makes us globally visible in the competition of regions. Urban-Rural Partnership Our strong urban-rural partnership is of central importance in this, and at the same time brings essential advantages: The metropolitan region offers the numerous advantages and conveniences of living in a major city without the negative side-effects that often go hand-in-hand with this urban lifestyle – such as traffic jams, environmental hazards, exploding real estate prices and social tensions. The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region views itself as a superior alternative to the megacities that are popping up all over the world, creating the conditions for a family-friendly environment and for above-average quality of life.

11 2. Our Mission, Goals and Projects
What we do… Mission and Goals Pooling our strengths promises success. In addition, we must have clear goals for our activities!

12 GOING BEYOND PAROCHIALISM
Mission – Goals – projects GOING BEYOND PAROCHIALISM Rules for Cooperation subsidiarity voluntary commitment equal terms urban-rural partnership openness and dynamism consensus democratic core Council of the Metropolitan Region regional governance networking with businesses, science, culture and administration The rules for cooperation … were set down by around 50 politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, tourism and marketing experts, in the Charter They have remained valid until today. It is particularly the principle of „equal terms“ and the urban-rural partnership which have made the Metropolitan Region well-known in Europe. Urban and rural districts work together on equal terms in our region – and they all have one vote in the Council of the Metropolitan Region, regardless of their population and their economic power. Subsidiarity is strictly adhered to in the selection of projects. We only take on projects which have a genuine added value for the Metropolitan Region, and which can be better tackled in regional cooperation than in smaller units.

13 Mission – GOALS – projects
„We want to be the preferred home region for talented and dedicated people from all over the world. Together we establish a home for creative minds. “ Strength through polycentrism “We develop polycentricism and collaboration as a unique selling point.” Exemplary culture of welcome “We develop an exemplary culture of welcome” Most family- friendly metropolitan region “We are one of Europe‘s five most family-friendly metropolitan areas.” Top in future-oriented competence areas “We strengthen the areas of competence of the WaBe model.” Transport & Logistics Automotive Information & Communications Medicine & Health Energy & Environment New Materials Automation & Production Engineering Efficient infrastructure for people, goods and information “We develop the transport structure for people and goods and the infrastructure for sustainable exchange of information.” In order to increase our attractiveness and visibility world-wide, we pursue 5 strategic goals in our work: Polycentralism Only one in seven inhabitants of the Metropolitan Region lives in the Nuremberg city area. A close network of smaller centres and axes extends beyond the densly populated triangle of the cities of Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen. The quality of life in Amberg, Kronach and Feuchtwangen is excellent as well. Each of these places has its own flair, and many rural areas are also strong economic locations. Setting up an exemplary culture of welcome The future economic viability of our region depends on the region remaining attractive to expert personnel. For example in the „Allianz pro Fachkräfte“ (Alliance for Expert Personnel) around 20 partners from the region and from Germany harmonise their activities to secure expert staff. Family-friendly environment The Metropolitan Region is extremely attractive for families because of its diversity and its quality of life. In addition, numerous companies are committed to a health work-life balance. There was a competition rewarding best practices (Charter for Family-Friendly Approach). Strengthening Economic Areas of Competence (WaBe Model) In 7 areas of competence, the Metropolitan Region boasts particularly good opportunities for growth and employment, e.g. in the field of „Medicine and Health“. By attracting companies and by extending the university and research infrastructure we can further strengthen these areas of competence. Efficient infrastructures for people, goods and information An efficient infrastructure is a basic requirement for any economic location. This particularly applies to a polycentric region. Its strengths will only take full effect if mobility and communications are safeguarded (public transport, integration in trans-European transport axes, broadband internet).

More than 1,500 partners provide information about GMO-free and locally produced food. Day of Science The metropolitan region has established a Day of Science that is organised by one of the 20 universities and colleges in the region each year. The „scientific showcase“ facilitates contact between researchers, politicians, professionals and educators – allowing them to exchange ideas and initiate projects. Medical Valley Players from industry, science, health care and politics got together to develop innovative technologies and services in health care. For example, 25 municipalities worked out strategies to allow people the longest possible independent life in their own homes.

Nuremberg Metropolitan Region sets itself the goal of developing an exemplary culture of welcome. Some examples for projects Alliance for Professionals The projects of the Alliance for Professionals are aimed at retaining / recruiting expert staff from both home and abroad and also addressing the issue of „political asylum and the labour market“. In the Alliance for Professionals, 20 partners from the Region and from Germany harmonise their activities. The Alliance was founded following an initiative by the Nuremberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Middle Franconia and by the Bavarian Regional Directorate of the Federal Labour Exchange. The Metropolitan Region is a strategic and operative partner. Zukunftscoaches Future Coaches The work of Future Coaches mainly focusses on the potential of the local labour force. Its aim is to retain young people in the region and to activate „dormant reserves“ for the local labour market, e.g. through qualification programmes. Further examples on the following pages.
