Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation comes from looking beyond familiar boundaries and imagining what others might miss.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates chances for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins a thriving innovation community. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try things, learn from failures, iterate, and ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on building respectful relationships and partnerships 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 and learning.
7. Pay It Forward — Help others without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
