The Tetris game has become one of the world’s top-selling video game brands with hundreds of millions of products sold, and that number is still growing today. In 1988, having published numerous computer games from around the world in the Japanese market, Henk discovered the Tetris game at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. A year later, he licensed the rights to Nintendo, where it would go on to make their handheld platform, the Game Boy, the most popular portable game system of its time.

Today, Henk is the Chairman of the Board of the Tetris Company; the Blue Planet Alliance, which aims to end the use of carbon-based fuel; Blue Startups, one of Hawaii’s first venture accelerators; the International MoonBase Alliance; and Blue Planet Research, where he develops his dream projects.
