The jury at the European Business Awards announced Neterra as a National Finalist today. As a Bulgarian representative in the 2012/13 awards program, the company will go on to compete for the honor of becoming one of Bulgaria's National Champions. Winners in each award category will be unveiled in April 2013. "It is a great honor to present your own country," said Tihomir Valkov, Marketing Manager of Neterra and added, "Neterra has been a Bulgarian telecom operating on the European market for years. Thousands of businesses in Europe take part in this competition, and to be selected among the leaders in our country, we consider it a great recognition for the company's success and hard work over the years."
In those tough economic times, Neterra demonstrated strong financial performance and continued forward by reinvesting the accumulated capital in the development of innovative products, new services and construction of facilities that expanded the company's portfolio of telecommunications services. The completed projects last year brought more prizes and recognition for the company at international forums. Neterra was selected for Country Representative at the European Business Awards and became a second-place winner in the Service Quality category at Forbes Business Awards. The company's project, Sofia Data Center was nominated for New Data Center at the European Data Center Awards, and later that year it won the Special Prize of the Jury at ICT Summit Eurasia Awards.
