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, leadership, and pivotal role in the international expansion of BTS Group within the dynamic telecommunications and technology sector.
Founded in Miami, BTS Group has established a robust presence in the international communications market over the past two decades. Under Olloqui's leadership, the company has evolved from its initial focus on voice solutions to a broader portfolio that now encompasses advanced technologies. The company's expansion strategy is driven by a combination of organic growth, strategic investments, and partnerships, with operations spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia. While its headquarters remain in Miami, BTS also maintains a strategic presence in Zaragoza, Spain.
The scale of BTS's operations is notable: the company reports that its voice communications solutions manage over 18 billion minutes annually across more than 180 countries. Furthermore, BTS is actively developing technologies in artificial intelligence, automation, omnichannel communications, and new digital platforms. A key milestone in its global strategy is its strategic alliance with SoftBank through SBTS, which aims to strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets.
Eduardo Hapke, Publisher of Negocios Magazine, commented on the selection, stating, "For Negocios Magazine, it is a true honor to recognize Rafael Olloqui, an entrepreneur from Miami, who has succeeded in developing a company with a clear international vision. His entrepreneurial mindset, ability to innovate, and expansion strategy represent precisely the kind of leadership we seek to highlight through the Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards."
Olloqui's recognition also highlights his ability to anticipate industry shifts and position BTS in emerging growth areas. Under his guidance, the company has fostered a culture of innovation and international collaboration, which has been instrumental in its success.
The 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards will bring together approximately 120 entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, investors, and professionals for an exclusive awards dinner and ceremony organized by Negocios Magazine. The event will commence at 6:30 PM with a cocktail reception, followed by the awards dinner and recognition ceremony from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM in the Ballroom at the EB Hotel Miami.
During the ceremony, Olloqui will officially receive the 'International Business Expansion Award,' joining a distinguished group of business leaders selected by the magazine. This distinction serves to highlight not only the business growth of BTS Group but also the career of an entrepreneur who has contributed from Miami to building an international technology organization that connects markets, companies, and people worldwide.
