WHAT WE DO

Mission Statement

   NodeIE Consulting Group is mainly composed of experienced engineers aged 55 to 85, operating as a for-profit professional organization and providing non-profit industrial (social) services. In a post-modern society with an aging population and insufficient young manpower, we aim to engage with the society with our new positions, bringing together a professional and knowledgeable team. Taking small and medium-sized (manufacturing) companies as our main target clients, we aspire to pass on our experience, enrich the rest of our lives, and work in win-win collaborative partnerships.


Current business model and status

Purpose：

To provide a professional platform for our peers or fellow professionals to share their experiences, serve businesses, and enrich their retirement life, so that their personal connections/core competencies/experiences can be continued and provide value.

Ideal：

Without pursuing profit, we contribute to the business during our spare time, freely entering and exiting, yet demanding professionalism, and we aspire to a platform of friendship among people with similar backgrounds and ideas.

Expectations：

Members may have different expectations. We have built an open platform, where everyone can work together and contribute to the society towards their own expectations.

Principle：

Mainly providing value-added consulting services, and establishing a business combining manufacturing and consulting.

Scope：

Mainly the service items on our website, and potentially more with addition of new consultants.

Operation：

Currently, we have set up a cloud platform and webpage, five consultants, and two office staff members.
