Big economy / more engineers and scientists is the basic requirement of progress in technology.

Developed countries and regional or world superpowers like Germany, US, China, Japan, India, South Korea, France etc are the one who's in charge of the rapid progress.

Even low-developed countries or failed states which failed to have a decent amount of good scientists or engineers still contribute to the progress of humanity by actively participating in the world economy.
