> Technology is driven by starting companies.

Almost always scientific and technological breakthroughs are made in publicly funded institutions such as universities and research laboratories.

The research done in companies usually takes the core science and shapes it into a sellable product, nothing much more than that.

Right. That is what I’m saying. You are taking my comment as a general statement rather than a response to the article. The article is about the lack of companies making a product from the research.

Hmm, I may have missed it, but is the article strictly referring to companies? It seems to me that it's asking in general why nobody (in the public or private sectors) has cloned people.

In any case, my comment was referring to the idea that in general research comes from the private sector. Sorry if I miss-interpreted your comment.
