	The aim  of the  paper is to assess  the  conditions of international technology transfer in low- developed economies and the possibility  of its dynamism through the use of appropriate institu- tional factors. The implementation of this objective  required critical analysis  of the subject litera- ture and a number of studies carried  out in low-developed countries. The conducted assessment indicated that  the ability of enterprises to transfer technology is one of the indicators of innova- tion in the aspect  of a faster process  of technological convergence. Thus, the creation and  use of conditions for technology transfer is of special importance through the increase  in R&D outlays, the development of institutional infrastructure, and the creation of cooperation networks includ- ing international economic entities.  Abandoning this type of activities, especially  in the era of in- creasing    openness  and   economic  liberalization,  may   slow   down  the   reduction  in   the development gap  of the  low-developed countries.
