Can a digital state be built from scratch with external expertise and support?
B.EST Solutions has spent the past 15 years proving that it can. Founded with the mission of adapting Estonia’s pioneering digital state experience to new contexts, the company has become a trusted developer and operator of national digital infrastructures, delivering secure, future-proof technologies while empowering local ecosystems to thrive.
Today, B.EST Solutions builds and operates future-ready digital identity platforms and complementary digital trust ecosystems, supporting governments worldwide in shaping secure, resilient, and inclusive digital societies.
The B.EST Solutions company story
Established in 2009, B.EST Solutions set out to demonstrate that a full-fledged digital society could emerge from the ground up, drawing on the pioneering lessons of Estonia’s e-government success.
Its first major milestone was the launch of Mobile-ID (Asan Imza) in Azerbaijan – a nationwide digital identity that enables secure access to digital services and the provision of legally valid digital signatures. What began as a single solution soon became the backbone of a connected society; today powering more than 600 million legally binding transactions and linking citizens to over 2500 e-services across public and private sectors.
From this foundation, the company has expanded into a comprehensive digital ecosystem operator, introducing Mobile ID technologies across SIM, eSIM, and app-based platforms; a complete PKI and trust management suite and m-Residency – a state-backed program enabling international entrepreneurs, investors, and diaspora to establish and manage businesses remotely in Azerbaijan.
This evolution positioned B.EST Solutions as a strategic innovator – not only creating technologies but operating real national infrastructure, ensuring continuity even in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Empowering an ecosystem beyond technologies
For B.EST Solutions, true innovation is not just technological – it lies in how technology is embedded locally, how governments can build their own capacity, and how people of all backgrounds can participate in the digital society. That means building strong local capabilities and fostering an inclusive and resilient digital ecosystem.
For example, the Asan Imza Mobile ID product range is designed to work across all devices, user preferences and digital literacy levels in the country, with SIM-based Mobile ID even accessible on feature phones. B.EST Solutions has also advanced innovation in digital service provision, enabling people with low digital literacy to access critical services remotely by combining their secure Mobile ID with Call Centre supported digital services.
“We have taken a bold look at the way our digital lives are evolving, and at the responsibility that comes with providing the infrastructure on which states and economies rely,” says Jana Krimpe, B.EST Solutions Founder and CEO. “Innovation, for us, means going beyond the next product release – it means designing ecosystem solutions that anticipate future challenges, from shifting user capabilities and expectations to emerging security threats, including the realities of a post-quantum world. It also means empowering the broader community to be able to fully leverage the opportunities that the new technological frontier presents,” she highlights.
R&D leadership and post-quantum readiness
At its R&D hub in Estonia, B.EST Solutions continuously invests in cutting-edge cryptographic research and next-generation PKI infrastructures. The company’s cryptographic agility ensures its Mobile-ID and trust services are ready for emerging risks in the post-quantum era, while remaining compliant with international standards. This commitment to future-proof security distinguishes B.EST Solutions from traditional software companies – it is an operator of national infrastructures, responsible for the trust backbone of entire countries.
Building inclusive digital futures
Beyond technology, B.EST Solutions invests in people through youth and rural programs to expand digital literacy and skills as well as mentorship initiatives and ICT workshops, helping to increase digital skills and awareness across society. The company’s leadership is also deeply engaged in promoting diversity in the tech sector. With advocacy through the non-profit Femmes Digitales and the annual AWITA Awards, B.EST Solutions is inspiring and encouraging thousands of young women to pursue ICT careers, creating a stronger, more inclusive digital talent base for the future.
Looking ahead
Today, the company’s ambition is global. Having proven that a secure, user-centric digital ecosystem can be built and operated at scale, B.EST Solutions is now bringing its strengthened portfolio to governments across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its newest solutions including eSIM-based Mobile-ID and app-based digital identity enhance resilience, user choice, and innovation, while addressing the evolving threat landscape.
“Our mission is to help build the next generation of digital states around the world,” Mrs. Krimpe shares. “With the privilege of providing core infrastructure comes the responsibility to ensure it is resilient, inclusive, and ready for tomorrow’s challenges.”
Going forward, B.EST Solutions’ vision is to empower states everywhere to leapfrog into the digital age, creating resilient societies where people and businesses thrive through secure, connected, and inclusive digital services.
