Building Business and Understanding
The mission of CSCI is to encourage economic development, educational enhancement, and cultural exchange by establishing and fostering relationships between Columbus and its sister cities.  Columbus Sister Cities exists to serve as facilitator between businesses, educational institutions government, and social and cultural organizations in Columbus and its sister cities.  This service increases the global education and awareness of citizens, helps to improve understanding of and tolerance for differences, and can be a valuable vehicle for expanding local business to overseas markets and vice versa, thereby contributing to the economic strength of Columbus.  The objective of CSCI is to be a well-organized nonprofit organization, with well-established, meaningful relationships with its sister cities.   The CSCI goal is to be a sought-after middle point for businesses that desire to expand to overseas markets that include Columbus sister cities and for any sister city business that has desires to expand in Columbus.

Today, Columbus is proud to have eight sister cities representing diverse regions of the world and will hope to soon be adding sister cities in Mexico, Africa, and Japan.
 

Mayor's Greeting

Welcome,

On behalf of the City of Columbus, I would like to welcome you to the Columbus Sister Cities International website.

Columbus values its sister cities relationships, because it is one more tool to expand our borders, our trade opportunities, our experiences and our world.  We strive to create mutually beneficial relationships with our sister cities, facilitating economic, cultural and educational exchanges that strengthen our cities and broaden the horizons of our citizens.

Columbus has a very diverse population, and that diversity is reflected in our sister city connections throughout the world.  Our city will be part of a global community as we diversify our arts, culture, economy and neighborhoods. 

Sincerely,
Mayor Michael B. Coleman
Honorary Board Chair
