Negocios Magazine has announced that Rafael Olloqui, Co-Founder and CEO of BTS Group, will be recognized at the 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards, scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at the EB Hotel Miami. Olloqui will receive the 'International Business Expansion Award,' an honor that underscores his entrepreneurial career and pivotal role in BTS Group's international expansion within the dynamic telecommunications and technology sector.
Founded in Miami, BTS Group has established a significant presence in the international communications market over the past two decades. Under Olloqui's leadership, the company has evolved from its origins focused primarily on voice solutions to a diversified technology enterprise.

Today, BTS Group operates across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, maintaining its headquarters in Miami and a strategic presence in Zaragoza, Spain.
The scale of BTS's operations is noteworthy. The company reports that its voice communications solutions manage more than 18 billion minutes annually across over 180 countries. Concurrently, BTS continues to develop technologies in artificial intelligence, automation, omnichannel communications, and new digital platforms. Additionally, BTS maintains a strategic alliance with SoftBank through SBTS, aimed at strengthening its presence in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets.
