Addis Ababa Business Pulse

Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

New York City Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
