Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the rules and dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people look beyond traditional boundaries and notice what others miss.
2. Open doors and listen — Be accessible and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates opportunities for unexpected connections.
3. Trust and be trusted — Trust underpins successful innovation ecosystems. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and develop value — Favor action over perfection. Try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help and seek feedback.
5. Seek fairness, not advantage (No Selling) — Build relationships on mutual respect and fairness rather than trying to gain at others' expense.
6. Fail and persist — Failure is expected and acceptable; the important part is to keep moving forward.
7. Pay it forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns. Generosity plants the seeds for future collaboration.
