So I initially understood it as technological development of the work industry but I heard someone say you can technologically advance without having to industrialize?

Industrialisation is the conversion of an economy from agrarian to industrial, centred on mass production. One of its biggest characteristics is the shift from most people being farmers to most people working in factories (and later, offices), tasked with turning raw materials into useful products as efficiently as possible, rather than on the production of food.
You can absolutely have technological advancement without industrialisation. People were still inventing new things before the world shifted to factories. You just can’t mass produce things, so everything is very expensive because it has to be made by hand, and the cool new shit people invent is only really accessible to the wealthy.
