- Society at the time knew it needed the invention to advance
- Government tried to encourage invention thru reward
- Society then did advance after the invention came about and was implemented

Maybe if I had a few less beers in me I'd be able to come up with something specific (not like I should though).

I'd go for something that enhanced the area of exploration and/or transportation that came about due to a particular need of a government, state, culture or society.

Air travel, submarines, space travel, nuclear weapons...
