N2  - One of the main characteristics of the technological capabilities of countries has always been
their uneven distribution across the countries. This paper explores the dynamic of technological
capabilities for a sample of 42 countries over the period 1995-2007 introducing some
methodological novelties. The results suggest that a process of convergence of technological
capabilities has occurred to some extent. However, this has not been complete as some countries
are still unable to reach a balanced growth in the different components of technological
capabilities. We conclude by arguing that the production of technology can no longer be
considered a privilege of a few advanced countries. This is going to bear consequences in the
global arena in terms of trade, international division of labour and technological specialization
