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.

Washington D.C. Business Pulse

Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
