“Sustainability has to be integrated into a business from day one.

That is the philosophy of Maksim Barziankou, CEO of BARZ Group UAE — a multidisciplinary group that combines sustainability advisory with intelligent software to help businesses grow responsibly. In line with UAE Vision 2030 and Net Zero 2050, the platform needed a home that treats compliance as a priority, and Masdar City Free Zone offered exactly that, together with a community of like-minded companies.
