Most technology companies in Rhode Island have felt the recession, but there are a handful that have experienced tremendous growth during the downturn. And those companies appear to share a common strategy – despite the recession, they have been focused on growth.

Companies have continued to invest in technologies that drive their business.

“The recession of 2001 was really a full-on depression for our sector. But we learned those hard lessons in 2001 and have fared well this time around,” Templin said.
