Top winners Nokia Finland, second place winners VIPnet Croatia, and third place winners Syngenta Switzerland were honoured in an Awards Ceremony hosted by the BTS Tournaments BTS Tournaments division of BTS on April 24 2010.
The basic idea in Tournament participation is for people to enhance their business acumen and financial understanding. There were some 600 teams competing globally last year and at the end, there were as many as 12 nationalities represented at the BTS Awards in Cannes on the French Riviera.
"I have to admit, this year's Awards were one of the best ever. The location and arrangements were luxurious, yes, but at the end of the day - it is all about the people. Even with a certain volcano erupting, nothing can stand in the way of great people having a fabulous time. Just goes to show, the top three teams earned their place!", said Petteri Salokangas – responsible for arrangements from the BTS Tournaments team.
