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.

Milan Business Pulse

  • Culture The fashion and finance capital of Italy. Sophisticated, fast-paced, and highly professional.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Aim for 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for the most productive discussions. Milanese business culture is more fast-paced and direct than in Rome, but personal rapport is still vital. Punctuality and professional presentation are highly valued in this stylish global hub.
