The access to those two aims approved the guess and the hypothesis of the study, that’s the existence of the local basement for setting the process of scientific and technologic catching-up. This is done by getting significant and positive effects of H/C accumulation and R&D growth on the technological change accounted within the industries of Cement, Sulphur, and Weavings. The study reached many conclusive results prevailed the vital importance for those factors of the innovational activities (i.e. R&D and H/C) in technological progress, but no returns from the last one on those factors.
