Also worth considering: Build what is possible today in US but not in Europe/Asia. i.e. Watch what your fellow US entrepreneurs are working on and adopt it to your local.

There are any number of opportunities to bring e.g. Japan into the 21st century. By the by, this is true for lots of folks demographically dissimilar to this forum in the US. JavaScript is cutting edge in my market, no joke.

Why would we want to bring Japan back from the 22nd century to this mess?

Very true and very lucrative. Only pitfall is making sure you can translate across cultural norms. CyWorld tried the opposite Korea => US and failed.

Can you elaborate please?

Do you advise this from the perspective of being (1) in US or (2) in Europe/Asia? It doesn't make sense either way, and people from other places might feel excluded anyway.

From a European/Asian perspective. Example: Barcode scanner/price comparer iPhone app. Although we have many local price comparison services; there is no such app to read (most of) the barcodes where I live.

I apologize for narrowing this down to Europe/Asia, this should apply everywhere at least a couple months behind US in adopting technology.
