idk. Most innovation in the field of medicine comes from research in universities, which are pretty socialized for the most part. The workers that are doing the innovation are also educated in a mostly socialized learning system. And there are plenty of economies with mostly socialized medicine that do plenty of innovation (including the USA). So I think your fears of collective funding of important institutions are unfounded.

The commonly accepted definition of innovation is the practical implementation of ideas that result in the introduction of new goods and services. So while the ideas may come from research in universities, I struggle to think of examples of practical implementations resulting in new goods and services. Do you have any examples?
