Providence Economic Outlook Breakfast 2026
Join us for a timely discussion on the evolving global economic landscape and what it means for Rhode Island’s business climate. The event will feature a keynote by Stephen Stanley, Chief Economist, Santander, examining tariff outcomes, the implications of a weakening dollar, and what these trends mean for regional competitiveness.
A moderated panel of leaders from manufacturing, defense, finance, and economic development will follow, focused on how Rhode Island can translate global change into local growth—through investment, trade, and manufacturing readiness.
The audience will also have the opportunity to provide real-time perspectives around the changing dynamics of Rhode Island through a survey of economic and business climate-related questions.
