Expansion through Innovation COSI has launched a holographic theater in 2026 and partnered with Slooh for hands-on space science experiences, signaling a strategy focused on immersive, tech-driven exhibitions that can be monetized through sponsorships, premium experiences, and education partnerships.

Experiential Exhibits Recent and upcoming exhibitions such as Star Wars themed collections and Unofficial Galaxies indicate a pattern of pop-culture aligned, time-limited offerings that attract broad audiences and can be used to drive membership growth, partnerships with brands, and corporate sponsorship.

Membership Leverage Promotional membership initiatives in 2025 suggest sensitivity to membership retention and value-added benefits, presenting opportunities for bundled corporate memberships, targeted B2B access passes, and employee engagement programs for local organizations.

Partnership Potential Active collaboration with hotels and external platforms implies appetite for cross-promotions and travel packages, presenting sales potential with local hospitality partners, tourism boards, and school/edu-tour operators seeking turnkey STEM experiences.

Financial Readiness Revenue and funding range place COSI as a mid-market cultural institution with room for scalable sponsorships, grant-driven programs, and enterprise software solutions to optimize donor CRM, finance, and ticketing—areas where a targeted solution could deliver measurable efficiency gains.
