The purpose of this presentation is to clarify logic of technological evolution in innovation process by case study of ship technology. According to previous studies, it is difficult to achieve the technological evolution because of stickiness to the existing technological paradigm. However, in actual technological development, there are dramatic technological evolutions. Therefore, I considered the technological evolution process by detailed analysis of two technological evolution cases in development of ship hull technology for high speed. As a result, I present the conclusions that technological breakthrough is newly defined as a pattern of technological evolution that breaks the limit of existing technology. And I present the hypothesis of the solution process by technological inspiration.
