The discussion about the internationalization of the companies has been wide, because it consists of its active participation in the external markets. In so far as it increases their knowledge about the performance in international markets, the more the company gets involved in a growing and continuous learning process. Thus, the scope of this study was to analyze how the internationalization of a company member of APL of Inputs and Equipment of Medical Use in Campo Mourão influenced, by the mechanisms of inter-company interaction, the increase of technological capacity from the other APL companies. As theoretical basis, the Kraus (2006) model has been used to establish the internationalization path and the types of Lall’s activities (1992) in order to measure the level of Technological Capacity of the companies, as well as Johnson and Lundvall´s interactive learning process (1992), to identify the implied learning process. Methodologically the study carried out has been of qualitative nature and, in order to be able to meet the proposed objective, the Case Study has been used. The data has been collected via semi-structured interviews with businesspeople and company managers, in addition to documents analyses and direct observation. The results have shown that the internationalization of Cristófoli Biossegurança company has influenced its technological capacity and its learning processes, because they have become more formal and frequent. The companies directly related to the latter have also had an increase in their technological capacities, especially due to the set up of quality processes needed to the maintenance of their supplying agreements. The companies indirectly related to Cristófoli have also had an increase in their technological capacities, specifically by interaction mechanisms present in APL. Lastly, it has been concluded that the companies directly related obtained a more significant increase in their levels of technological capacity, however the ones indirectly related suffered the spill-over effect as well.
