Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream. Challenge conventional thinking; innovation flourishes when people look beyond traditional boundaries. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen. Be accessible and receptive to new ideas and people. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted. Trust is the foundation 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 try again. Seek help and ask questions.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling). Build relationships and partnerships on mutual respect and fairness rather than attempting to "win" at others' expense.
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.
