UTRECHT, The Netherlands: Hendrik van der Ham, renowned bridge builder and visionary entrepreneur, unveiled his latest endeavor – SEVENTH, a groundbreaking project poised to redefine sustainable living on a global scale.
Born amidst the picturesque canals of Utrecht, and raised navigating on rivers in The Netherlands, Hendrik’s journey is a testament to the power of vision and innovation.
His company, BRIDGES2000, established in 1999, has emerged as a leader in creating safe and purpose-driven connections.

In 2007, fueled by a transformative dream which happened in 2002 and a deep-seated commitment to sustainability, Hendrik embarked on his most ambitious project to date – SEVENTH.
