In the conditions of the development of processes of globalization and internationalization, in particular in the field of economics, the achieved level of innovation of enterprises becomes of paramount importance, since it depends on the possibility of these enterprises to enter and operate effectively on the external market. The transfer of technical knowledge is of particular importance in this respect and the methods and techniques used in this area. The actual level of innovation of Ukrainian enterprises, especially agricultural ones, is ex-tremely low. In Ukraine, in fact, there is no national system of technology transfer. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the main results of the study of the problem of technical upgrading and modernization of agricultural enterprises on the basis of international technology transfer as a way to increase their level of innovativeness. The article describes the theoretical essence of technologies, their transfer, its international form as a way of modernization of production, types, forms and channels of technology transfer, including its international form, the role of transnational corporations in its implementation, the results of the analysis of the situation in the field of technology transfer in Ukraine and of the experience of solving the problem of or-ganizing modernization and technical upgrading of agricultural enterprises in Poland.The conclusions pro-vide the main suggestions for establishing activities in the field of international technology transfer as a way to modernize and increase the level of innovativeness of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine.
