Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream. Challenge conventional thinking; innovation often comes from looking beyond usual boundaries. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen. Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas; active listening can create unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted. Trust is the backbone of innovation communities—take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value. Favor action over perfection: try, fail, learn, and try again. Seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling). Build relationships on respect and fairness rather than trying to "win" at the expense of others.
6. Fail and Persist. Failure is expected and acceptable; the key is to persist and keep moving forward.
7. Pay It Forward. Help others without expecting immediate returns—generosity plants the seeds for future collaboration.
