Rules of I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream. Challenge conventional thinking — innovation flourishes when people move beyond traditional boundaries and norms. See the invisible.
2. Open Doors and Listen. Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas; active listening opens the door to unexpected connections.
3. Trust and Be Trusted. Trust underpins 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 try again. Ask questions and seek help.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling). Build relationships and partnerships on mutual 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 goodwill and future collaboration.
