Not a mathematician, so this may be a stupid question.
AIUI, some kinds of maths are impossible without the concept of zero. So, what kind of tech is possible for a society that never invents zero? Not ones that have no concept of "nothingness" (& I suspect there are those, too), just ones that don't actually have the numeral. (Ancient Rome, frex.)
