Wow thank you, that’s cool. My approach If I may share it with you:

If I were you, I would identify the stakeholders (decision makers) of the North, figure out where I can meet them (if scheduling a meeting is not possible), for example I would find them in conferences, seminars, or online Zoom calls and then send them a message. It is crucially important that you show up with your plan ready to be executed, rather than sharing an idea with them. Good Luck!
