INSPIRING FREETHINKERS FROM THE START

Rhode Island was founded by a renegade, Roger Williams. The Industrial Revolution was born in our mills. And design-driven mavericks continue to be inspired here, building companies like Airbnb, Hasbro, CVS Health and Swarovski.

This small state in the eastern seaboard has housed innovation, entrepreneurship and guts since before our founding fathers claimed independence from Great Britain. They say it's in our DNA. We say it's what makes living and working here a fun, interesting and inspiring experience.
