The quantitative determinations of technetium abundances are discussed. Up to now Tc abundances were found for nearly 30 stars which all are thermally pulsing AGB stars. The technetium abundance values for these AGB stars atmospheres, where it was found to be present, cluster around −1.0 ÷ 1.7. The fact that Tc is not omnipresent in the atmospheres of AGB stars, which are highly enriched in other heavy elements produced in s-process, is discussed.
