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.

Melbourne Business Pulse

Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.
