InQuest Technologies, Inc., held a ribbon cutting ceremony today to mark the grand opening of their new corporate headquarters in Providence, RI.  Celebrating with InQuest was Governor Donald Carcieri, Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline and numerous leaders from the state’s information technology and digital media sector. “We are very excited to be in Rhode Island,” Michael Colapietro, Co-Founder and CEO of InQuest Technologies said.“InQuest’s move to Providence is a sign of the significant tech movement starting in the region.”

"Our goal is to build an innovation economy.  By relocating to Rhode Island, Inquest is helping us realize this goal, said Rhode Island Governor Donald. L. Carcieri. “Since moving here, Inquest has already added 15 high-wage jobs to its staff with plans to add more jobs.  I am proud that my administration played a role in supporting this company’s efforts to establish its new headquarters here by providing a loan from the RIEDC’s Small Business Loan Fund program."

InQuest worked with the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) to establish new headquarters in Rhode Island and secure financing to support the company’s expansion. InQuest was approved for a $750,000 loan from the RIEDC’s Small Business Loan Fund to expand operations in Rhode Island and create an additional 30 high wage jobs over the next year. InQuest’s participation in the SBLF program is a good example of how RIEDC has repositioned its finance programs to supply growth capital to globally competitive companies in target, high wage industries and in alignment with the agency’s economic growth plan.
