Rules of I&E Network:

2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas. Active listening creates space for unexpected collaborations.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins productive innovation communities. Take small risks with others to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection. Try things, learn from setbacks, ask for help, and iterate.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on fair, respectful relationships and partnerships instead of trying to gain at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected; the important part is to keep going and adapt.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity fosters goodwill and future collaboration.
