It is the scope of this paper that, after a synthesis of relevant literature regarding the international technology transfer to enlighten bridges needed to enable efficient transnational knowledge transfer and knowledge creation. Based on empirical analysis upon different factors of knowledge transfer efficiency, interculturality, digital skills and occupational trainings, some conclusions are formulated, in line with the knowledge transfer actual theory.
