Companies of the Burfa Group have previously managed similar computing centres in China and Iceland as test projects, but the company is currently planning to consolidate most of its capacities in Narva.

Burfa Tech provides cloud and IT development services by deploying blockchain technologies. In addition, the company is building data processing and storage centres, involving leading staff of Estonian research institutions.
