Abidjan Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal, relationship-heavy, and the economic powerhouse of French-speaking West Africa.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. French is the primary business language; ensure you are fluent or have translation for technical talks. Personal relationships are vital. Hierarchy is respected, and a professional, polite tone is essential for success.

Kaohsiung Business Pulse

  • Culture Industrial, pragmatic, and more relaxed than Taipei. A major port and manufacturing hub.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Kaohsiung business is practical and trade-oriented. While hierarchy is respected, the vibe can be slightly more informal than in Taipei. Avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch and rest window strictly for all professional calls.
