RI’s Future In The Making: Manufacturing Day 2022

A Unique Event with Insights for Industry AND a Pipeline-Building Program Engaging the Next Generation of Ocean State Makers

On Onctober 4, 2022, Polaris MEP and the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association (RIMA) hosted a two-part Manufacturing Day 2022 event.

In the first part of the program, manufacturing industry leaders,  ecosystem partners, state representatives and media heard the findings of Polaris MEP’s first-ever “State of RI Manufacturing Study.”

The session also kicked off Manufacturing Month in the Ocean State with a proclamation from elected officials.

After this forum, business leaders left and a number of school buses arrived bringing 8th, 9th and 12th grade students  for a “taste test” of manufacturing careers.
