The questionnaire was also subjected to a validity and reliability test to ensure the validity of the statistical results. In the light of the statistical analysis and its results, a number of conclusions were reached, the most important of which was the presence of a significant effect between intellectual capital and technological innovation, and also the effect of intellectual capital on technological innovation increases with the presence of the mediation variable (synergy). I concluded the research with a set of recommendations, the most important of which was the employment of the synergistic relationship between the components of intellectual capital and its active effect on the technological innovation, the employment of impact relationships between intellectual capital and technological innovation in formulating the plan of the researched organization and making organizational changes that increase its achievement.
