Generally speaking, innovation comes from unexpected discoveries, interdisciplinary thinking and massive amounts of failure.
It's like tree roots randomly sampling a surface until they find a crack to grow into. It's easy to trace innovative pathways with top down direction once they're already obvious, but the initial discovery is a random process enhanced by intellectual, economic, and social freedom to operate Source: I'm doing a postdoc on deep tech innovation policy.
