With its location along the Northeast I-95 corridor, Rhode Island provides easy access to major metropolitan areas, airports and shipping terminals that serve international markets. The state’s compact size, diverse demographics and concentrated networks offer a predictable business climate.
Narragansett Bay, to the south of Providence, is the epicenter of Rhode Island’s defense and maritime economy. Electric Boat, Raytheon and major U.S. Navy R&D institutions inhabit seaside locations in this area.
