Popis: We analyzed breakthrough patents that serve as the basis of emerging technological trajectories and paradigm over 25-years. The results showed that although technological fields have a different degree of dependency on science, the major part of the patents is now science-dependent. The results suggest that the relationship of science to economic growth has fundamentally changed. Over time, science-dependent innovations increasingly have dominated in the innovation-based economy; however, a large number of most productive countries in scientific research even with strong technological, and financial backing doesn’t have the motivation and ability to turn science to wealth-generating innovations.
