Kinshasa Business Pulse

  • Culture Developing and informal but with a growing corporate sector. Relationships are key.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM for the best response. French is the primary business language; ensure you have a translator or are fluent for technical discussions. Personal relationships and face-to-face (or video) interactions are highly valued over cold emails.

Nairobi Business Pulse

  • Culture Energetic and entrepreneurial. Tech hub of East Africa ("Silicon Savannah").
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
