Know-How Exchange : Other

Hi I have no technical qualifications. However, have an ability to always come out with unique solutions to problems, as have done in my career as Public Servant (was awarded Innovation Award in 2015 for another unique solution). I have a new concept which is a very unique service solution (cant write more for obvious reasons). I can sure contact big companies and sell this product off. But that will kill the real idea and the benefits will not reach the intended audience that will benefit from the concept, as this company would be more interested for financial gains. I would rather prefer that some University take over this concept, have this develop as project from final year student(s) as part of degree. Once this is developed, then University can collaborate with different government agencies and offer them and help them in execution. This will become a collaborative venture between Uni and the Government. I am not after any financial gain whatsoever out of this concept, hence opting out for this path. Because of plethora of resources (manpower in shape of students to do research and design the product, labs etc.) at the disposal of the University, and the credibility that this research will carry will ultimately go a long way in its quick adaptation. There will be minimal cost to the University. I live in New Zealand. Any help would be greatly appreciated as how to proceed further; how and whom in University to contact; how to approach finally without revealing my concept in my initial talks. Thank you
