ABSTRACT
The notion of globalization of innovation, as that of finance, production, culture and information, is now diffuse. Scholars, governments and international organizations have attempted to assess the changes that have occurred in technological activities due to an ever-increasingly globalized society.2 That technology, in the sense of knowledge directed towards the solution of specific human problems, is transmitted from one culture to another or from one society to another, is certainly not a novelty. Even though learning processes are long and cumbersome, technological knowledge transmission among peoples has met less resistance than occurred in the cases of cultural, religious, social or political habits. Technology has always constituted a fertile meeting place for different societies. If the assimilation and transfer of technology required lengthy time spans in the past, today it occurs with a much higher intensity and speed.
