My comment:
The Greek tekhné means simply craftmenship.
The Latin industria means in Latin assiduus, diligens (diligent).
You can't use industrial progress as industrial revolution begins in the 18th-19th c. Industry is bigger then artisanship, I mean.

I agree, "technical" is no more "modern" in English than "technique" is in French.

My comment:
I agree that technical doesn't quite sound right, could also be civilisation's industrial / technical progress

If you are fussy about the flow or literary quality of the phrase, this is my version. Good luck.
