Negocios Magazine announced that Rafael Olloqui, Co-Founder & CEO of BTS Group, will receive the 'International Business Expansion Award' at the 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards. The ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at the EB Hotel Miami, where approximately 120 entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, investors, and professionals will gather to celebrate business leadership and innovation.
This recognition underscores Olloqui's entrepreneurial career, leadership, and pivotal role in the growth and international expansion of BTS Group within the ever-evolving telecommunications and technology industry. Founded in Miami, BTS has developed a significant presence in the international communications market for more than two decades. Under Olloqui's leadership and that of his executive team, the company has evolved from its origins primarily focused on voice solutions to a diversified technology provider.
International expansion has been a key pillar of BTS's evolution. Today, BTS Group pursues its strategy through a combination of companies, investments, and partnerships, with operations extending across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The organization maintains its headquarters in Miami, along with a strategic presence in Zaragoza, Spain. The company reports that its voice communications solutions manage more than 18 billion minutes annually across more than 180 countries, while continuing to develop technologies related to artificial intelligence, automation, omnichannel communications, and new digital platforms.
BTS also maintains a strategic alliance with SoftBank through SBTS, aimed at strengthening its presence and providing technology and communications solutions across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets. This alliance is a testament to BTS's commitment to innovation and global reach.
