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,' which honors his entrepreneurial career, leadership, and pivotal role in the international growth of BTS Group 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 the guidance of Olloqui and his executive team, the company has evolved from its initial focus on voice solutions into a diversified technology enterprise. International expansion has been a cornerstone of this evolution, with operations now spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia. While maintaining its headquarters in Miami, BTS also holds a strategic presence in Zaragoza, Spain.
The scale of BTS's operations is noteworthy. The company reports that its voice communications solutions manage over 18 billion minutes annually across more than 180 countries. Concurrently, BTS is advancing technologies in artificial intelligence, automation, omnichannel communications, and digital platforms. A strategic alliance with SoftBank through SBTS further strengthens its reach in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets.
Eduardo Hapke, Publisher of Negocios Magazine, expressed pride in recognizing Olloqui, 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."
The award also acknowledges Olloqui's foresight in anticipating industry shifts and positioning BTS for new growth areas. Under his leadership, the company has fostered a culture of innovation and international collaboration. The 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards will bring together approximately 120 entrepreneurs, CEOs, executives, investors, and professionals for an exclusive dinner and ceremony. The event begins at 6:30 PM with a cocktail reception, followed by the awards dinner and ceremony from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM in the Ballroom at the EB Hotel Miami.
This recognition underscores the importance of BTS Group's trajectory and its impact on global communications. As a Miami-based company with international reach, BTS exemplifies how regional enterprises can thrive on a global scale, leveraging innovation and strategic partnerships. The award not only celebrates Olloqui's achievements but also highlights the broader significance of technological advancement and cross-border business expansion in today's interconnected economy.
