The most important factor in science and technology cooperation is, in my opinion, is knowledge transfer between the two. Here is an article observing the subject, I hope it would help:
Tracing the links between science and technology: An exploratory analysis of scientists’ and inventors’ networks
If you can read Spanish, I recommend you to look at the work of Kurt Bernardo Wolf (my father) and Sofía Liberman; they recently published a book called "El oficio científico" (downloadable from Sofía Liberman's page in ResearchGate), describing the work of scientists.
They have published several English language papers as well; I don't know them all, but I found one called "Independent simultaneous discoveries visualized through network analysis: the case of linear canonical transforms", also downloadable from ResearchGate. It covers points very similar to your question.
One important element that connects science and technology is the production of patents. Actually, it is the creation of a patent that brings the two sides together. the reciprocal citations of science and technology are shown in the details of a patent. Here is an article on the subject:
