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.

Yokohama Business Pulse

Culture Professional, industrial, and closely linked to Tokyo. Values long-term corporate stability.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As Japan's largest port, business is practical and trade-oriented. Standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness, formal protocol) is strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs.
