Nick,
Having looked at your products, you would do well in countries that regularly experience power outages e.g. India, China, South Africa, to name a few, and also in zones that are prone to natural disasters.

Hi Nick
Experience has shown us that one of the simplest, cheapest and most effective ways of building partners internationally is by taking on interns from Europe, who can hep you with language, research markets and provide ongoing support for your foreign distributors. Internships usually last about 6 months and many students speak three or more languages. We have found them to be driven, hard-working and flexible.
Hope this helps. Contact me if you would like to know more.
