This article has the objective to describe and characterize the textile sector's technology transfer process, under the light of the core theoretical concepts, and the sector's dynamics and technological characterization. In addition to the technology transfer process, the article shows the main bottlenecks observed in the process, and possible actions for the involved actors to seek a better execution to the technologic transfer, thus reducing the acquired technology under-utilization, as well as the delay on its full use.This article has the objective to describe and characterize the textile sector's technology transfer process, under the light of the core theoretical concepts, and the sector's dynamics and technological characterization.

Além da caracterização do processo de transferência tecnológica, o artigo apresenta os principais gargalos observados no processo e possíveis ações para que os atores envolvidos busquem um maior efetivação da transferência tecnológica, diminuindo, assim, a sub-utilização da tecnologia adquirida ou a demora em sua plena utilização.
