Experiential Partnerships COSI has active experiential and pop-culture exhibits, including Star Wars collections and Unofficial Galaxies, plus a recent Slooh space science partnership. This combination creates licensing, sponsorship, and co-branded marketing opportunities with space and entertainment brands and educational partners to monetize exhibits and extend audience reach.
International IP Expansion The EiPiC program in Italy signals capability and appetite for international collaboration and IP driven education initiatives, offering pathways for cross border exhibitions, partnerships with museums or schools, and licensing of exhibit content and curricula.
Membership Growth COSI is actively growing membership with promotions and could monetize through tiered memberships, bundled experiences, and travel pack partnerships (for example with The Junto Hotel) to attract families and travelers seeking curated Columbus experiences.
Tech Enablement The organization runs a modern tech stack (Salesforce, Sage Intacct, Azure, Cloudflare, ADP, iCIMS), presenting opportunities to upsell data analytics, custom integrations, CRM driven marketing, and enhanced security for digital exhibits and online ticketing.
Education Partnerships COSI’s focus on science education and public engagement aligns with sponsorships from STEM brands and educational grants; there is potential to secure corporate sponsorships, school partnerships, and paid workshops or programs that extend classroom reach.
