The Binding Energy (TBE) was founded in 2015 by Wim Uyttenhove with a clear mission: to bring high-quality expertise closer to our partners. From the very beginning, TBE has operated independently, without ties to nuclear sites or organizations with conflicting interests. This independence allows us to provide truly objective, unbiased, and high-value services to our clients.

We are known for our no-nonsense mentality and highly dynamic way of working — a rare quality in the traditionally conservative nuclear sector. Our pragmatic approach and flexibility have become defining features of our success and reputation.

In 2018, TBE took a bold step forward with the recruitment of Koen Vints, who officially became a managing partner in 2022. Together, they outlined a clear vision: to be the leading provider of independent and innovative nuclear expertise.

Remaining true to our founding principles, TBE has pursued a strategy of organic growth — relying solely on its own resources without external investors. This disciplined path led to the hiring of a third employee in 2020, growing to a team of 10 professionals by early 2025. Our ambition is to further expand to 30 employees by 2030, always while maintaining our entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to quality.

In line with our commitment to excellence, TBE is proud to be ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, ensuring that we meet the highest standards in quality management and information security.

At TBE, we are building the future of nuclear engineering: dynamic, independent, and deeply committed to safeguarding and advancing critical industry knowledge.
