Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people move beyond traditional limits and imagine what others do not yet see.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new ideas and people. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust is the backbone of an innovation ecosystem. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate. Seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Build relationships and partnerships on mutual respect and fairness rather than trying to "win" at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the essential part is to persist and keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward — Offer assistance without expecting immediate returns. Generosity plants the seeds for goodwill and future collaboration.
