Albrecht Hornbach stepped down as chairman of the board of the association Zukunft Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar (ZMRN e.V.) in April 2015, passing the role to Luka Mucic. Hornbach stated he was stepping down "with a very good feeling" because he was confident in the region's future under Mucic and SAP's involvement, and because he would remain a member of the board, allowing him to continue following and shaping developments in the region. He described the region's current standing as "very good," noting it ranks among the top five in Germany in key performance indicators such as the relative number of research and development jobs and low unemployment. Hornbach said the region's potential is "definitely there" and that with focused work on levers such as internal and external identity-building, cross-state promotion, and flagship projects in areas like networked education and digital infrastructure, the region could achieve a top position in Europe.
