Today our partner the Heritable Innovation Trust Program, published the 2010 Heritable Innovation Trust. In 2009, M·CAM established the Heritable Innovation Trust Program. The program has interns travel to different countries throughout the world, document heritable knowledge, and then create a network of information back and forth with the main goal of creating economic flow. They have already documented heritable knowledge in Papua New Guinea, Mongolia, and Ecuador.
