This paper analyzes the internationalization process of national companies dedicated to the production of higher technological density goods. Besides commercial advantages, these enterprises present different motivations to internationalization. The development of new technologies results in the adoption of very different internationalization trajectories compared with those observed in other Brazilian companies. The research involved the study of three Brazilian companies which were founded between the eighties and nineties and became internationalized precociously: 'Bematech', 'Lupatech', and 'Opto Eletrônica'. An important common aspect among these companies is that they recognize technology as the main element for the growth and expansion of their activities, and invest continuously in development and research activities. This fact contributes to the application for patents and development of products that can be adapted according to the necessities of their national and international clients. Therefore, this study deals with companies that were already born with attributes that facilitate and stimulate internationalization.
