Henk Rogers | Accelerate clean energy
Henk Rogers
Founder of Blue Planet Alliance.
From international gaming phenomena to game-changing initiatives, Dutch-born entrepreneur and innovator Henk Rogers continues to pave the way in regenerating our home planet.
Starting his career in computer gaming more than three decades ago, Rogers revolutionized the industry by creating Japan’s first Role-Playing Game (RPG) and later bringing the legendary game Tetris, to the world.
Since then, Rogers has dedicated his career to research, development, advocacy and implementation of renewable energy sources.
His Blue Planet Foundation in Honolulu, has led efforts to pass the nation’s first 100 percent renewable energy mandate, requiring the State of Hawaii to commit to switching to 100 percent renewable sources of electricity by 2045.
His newest initiative, Blue Planet Alliance, based out of New York City, is expanding BPF’s “mandate first, business model second” approach worldwide. BPA is driving global systemic change by developing projects that change behaviors of people, companies, and countries toward sustainability.
