Engineering Studio
History
Engineering Studio is a business technology focused branch of the Gaming and Video game culture industry giant, Ubisoft.
Started in 2008, the main pursuit was to test the market readiness for remastering existing products, with minimum budget allocation and resources.
After a series of unexpected successes, partnering with Humble Bundle and GOG, this small two-man team (1 QA Specialist and 1 Developer) generated enough revenue on its own to motivate a departure from the parent company, going on to sign some of the biggest names in the industry (Nvidia, Agawi, Cloudunion, Onlive, G-cluster, Playcast, and Ubitus).
The modest branch expanded their focus beyond Remastering and Bundling software products, to include Cloud Gaming, Market Research, Renewable Energy and Long term Sustainable Development Models, Extreme process optimization and later Blockchain games.
With the addition of Ionita Vladimir as Chief People & Talent Officer, A. Dinu as Head of Programming & Development, the team was now ready to undertake bigger challenges, focusing on the most prominent and beloved software products in the company's roster, Tom Clancy franchise and the Assassin's Creed franchise.
The debuting mission included all Tom Clancy market ready products, bundled in one low price offering, continuing with the same model for Assassin's Creed.

Quartz
Ubisoft Quartz leverages the energy-efficient technology on the Tezos blockchain, which is a proof-of-stake blockchain.
Note that a proof-of-stake blockchain can potentially achieve the same results as that of a proof-of-work protocol but with significantly less consumption of energy.
Expansion
What started as a small business and tech branch, quickly developed into a renewable energy and brainstorming hub, in an attempt to test the efficiency of the most ambitious prospects the IT industry had to offer. By 2018, the team consisted of 40+ developers, a large team of quality control specialists and studio partnerships across the globe.
By 2020, the team contracted no less than 300+ engineers and talented experts, focused on optimizing the energy and resource efficiency within the development and gaming industry.
