Having sold technology to big organizations (and not so big) for 35 years here are a few suggestions.
First off make sure you have endorsements from as many recognizable entities as you can get: UL certification, fire departments, electrical engineers and such, you can't have too many.
Next get your device installed in something, anything to prove its' viability - any reference is better than none. And this will most likely be at least partially on your dime.
Selling to big organizations is the same as selling to government; you're dealing with a bureaucracy - very rarely is there a quick sale. You will need to get as high up the totem pole as you can from the get go, else you'll be mired in an endless cycle of having to sell to people who can't make the decision to purchase. You must sell from the top down, and you must make them want it - you're presentation will have to include (in your case) demonstrable catastrophic failure of their product from a viable real life circumstance and evidence of mitigation when your device is in play (a video would suffice). Sounds daunting doesn't it? It is.
Your best bet is to partner with an organization that already has a relationship with the target organization, they know their way around the politics inside, and believe me that is paramount.
I wish you the best of luck. There is nothing more important to our economy than entrepreneurship.
Throwing RICO into the game is just nonsense. Whether AGW is the real deal or not I do not know, what i do know ( and this is where the rubber meets the road ) is that there has been no appreciable sea level rise anywhere. There is a much bigger problem the earth is facing right now and it is being pretty much ignored by the powers that be and the mainstream media - Fukushima radiation is poisoning the worlds oceans. 300-450 tonnes a DAY is still pouring into the Pacific from the nuclear facility. This radiation is in our food, and it took a schoolgirl from Alberta Canada to point it out to the world - http://www.collective-evolutio... . This is a known major threat to every person on the planet that gets no airtime, the facts are clear and anyone with a Geiger counter can prove it. Without the oceans we're Fuked!
No coverup at all. Have a look at this picture from sol 2114 from the Spirit rover. Someone forgot to photoshop this one (lower left quadrant). http://areo.info/mer/spirit/21...
You can use a colloidial silver solution in a nasal spray or dropper (get it at any health food store). It works for me EVERY TIME. Also works on strep throat clears up completely within 3 days. NO Antibiotics at all !
Fact is 20000 people attend these events
Fact is they create millions of pounds of CO2 to get there
Also a fact that a good percentage of them are journalists, and assistants and sub-assistants
If you don't see any hypocrisy here your pants are on way too tight.
I just find it odd that AGW climate experts feel the need to have so many conferences in great locations that require 20,000 + people to fly in for it. Thus creating millions of pounds of CO2, I thought they were anti CO2. Oh yeah they're going to need a lot of limousines for sure.
I can see the tough decision to be made by someone choosing a career in climatology:
Option 1
Agree with AGW
-get funding
-lots of travel
Option 2
-no funding
-no travel
As a career move I think I'll go with option 1

Heard the call, and am answering. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/com... Bet you wont read it !
Tired of this nonsense, call me when the sea level ACTUALLY RISES.
Well I never got to fill out an application. That's why I'm here.
Well I'm schizophrenic ! And so am I.

It must be really annoying that sea levels refuse to rise though.
At least we can agree to disagree. Historically when huge sums of money are in play (in any arena). It is wise to be suspect.

You just need some plasma credits.
No logic here just fact.
