How States Accelerate Science

Analyze how a country can convert scientific research into practical national capability. Use examples such as satellite development, locally produced vaccines, medical robotics, and AI-assisted cancer research. What institutional ingredients matter most: long-term funding, regulatory support, university-industry collaboration, public procurement, or export strategy? Compare the tradeoffs between building cutting-edge science for prestige versus building systems that deliver health, security, and industrial value. End by proposing a policy roadmap for making scientific innovation durable rather than episodic.
