Abstract

The research conducted during the first phase of this program revealed that the contribution of smaller firms of industrialised countries in the transfer of technology to Argentina was concentrated in two industrial sectors: metalworking and chemicals. An analysis of the overall quantitative evidence reflected in the Government Register of Technology Contracts and other sources of information on foreign investment1 showed the presence of 128 firms with less than 500 employees in their respective home countries,2 which appeared to have transferred technology for these two sectors in the late seventies and early eighties, via technology agreements or direct foreign investments (see Table 11.1 and 11.2). The share of SMEs was 19.4 per cent in the case of technology agreements and 8.1 per cent in the case of direct investments.
