Expansion Opportunities The organization is actively expanding facilities and partnerships, including groundbreaks on new museums and a growing network of historic sites. This signals demand for project management, construction-related services, exhibit design, and cross-site technology integrations.

Digital and Grants With ongoing initiatives like interactive digital mapping and grant-funded projects such as Marking Diverse Ohio, there is opportunity to offer digital engagement platforms, GIS solutions, and grant management software or consulting to streamline funding and outreach.

Education Outreach A statewide educational focus including online textbooks and teaching tools for Ohio’s 4th graders presents a market for edtech integrations, content licensing, and professional development services tailored to museums and history educators.

Preservation and Tourism Managing archives, a large historic marker program, and state historic preservation efforts indicates demand for archival digitization, metadata management, preservation tech, and tourism experiences that can be monetized with interactive exhibits and paid tours.

Funding and Partnerships Active fundraising via History Fund and collaboration with state and local entities, plus recent federal grants, creates sales potential for grant consulting, fundraising platforms, sponsorship programs, and partnership marketing services.
