I regard Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) as having been quite successful. From Wikipedia:
Notable developments by CSIRO have included the invention of atomic absorption spectroscopy, essential components of Wi-Fi technology, development of the first commercially successful polymer banknote, the invention of the insect repellent in Aerogard and the introduction of a series of biological controls into Australia, such as the introduction of myxomatosis and rabbit calicivirus for the control of rabbit populations.
And the items listed in the Innovation section. Still, I’m sure they have had (at least) a few research projects that didn’t go anywhere.
