Technical Innovation is a North Korean monthly academic journal on technology and innovation, founded in 1955 and published by the Central Information Agency for Science and Technology. The journal is widely distributed within the North Korean industrial sector.

Format
Each issue of Technical Innovation begins with a quotation from the ruling Kim family, and frequently includes an unsigned editorial along with its table of contents. The journal is sectioned into innovations on various fields, but the order of these sections are not fixed. Unlike other North Korean academic journals, articles for the journal include both names for the authors and their institutional affiliations.

Like other North Korean scientific journals, the journal does not mention any submission guidelines, an ethical code, a peer-review process (though it does indicate that there is an editorial committee), or a subscription model.

Research
Research published in Technical Innovation covers a wide range of topics, including agriculture, chemistry, information technology, machinery, and metallurgy. The journal's publications come from a wide range of universities, institutions, and corporations throughout North Korea. As of 2019, the most common institutions published in the journal are the Kim Chaek University of Technology, the University of Sciences, and the State Academy of Sciences.

North Korean propaganda is a consistent feature of the journal. The journal generally lacks any references.
