Repetition Replication and further development of practices and technologies in developing countries and CEITs is needed. Technology transfer projects need continued support from the technology supplier. This is beneficial to both the technology user and supplier. The user can benefit from experience from other licensees, and the licensor gets an opportunity to gain further market entrance. Various concepts of replication and development are demonstrated by other case studies.
Countries possessing a higher technical capability are faster to replicate and develop a technology.
The steel sector is an industry with relatively frequent and open communication. In other sectors, e.g. the chemicals industry, process and technology knowledge is proprietary, limiting replication and development for developing countries and CEITs.
