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.

Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
