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.

Istanbul Business Pulse

Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
