Nairobi Business Pulse

Culture Energetic and entrepreneurial. Tech hub of East Africa ("Silicon Savannah").
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. The tech scene is very vibrant and mobile-first. Personal relationships are vital; take a few minutes for "Small Talk" before jumping into business. Be patient with potential internet stability and have a backup messaging option ready.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
