Helsinki Business Pulse

Culture Extremely direct, honest, and values silence and deep focus.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Finns are remarkably direct and honest; do not waste time with small talk. Silence in meetings is a sign of thinking and respect—do not rush to fill it. Honesty and reliability are the most important business values.

Houston Business Pulse

Culture Focused on energy, medical, and aerospace. Professional and direct.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Houston is a practical, results-oriented city. The Central Time Zone is ideal for North American coordination. While professional, the culture has a touch of "Southern hospitality," so a friendly opening is always appropriate.
