I think 20 years is too brief for any significant changes from the present day. In the longer term, perhaps this OECD report together with some global economic forecasts might give us some clues as to which direction the trend will go.

However the US still has an advantage due to the size of the population. If the US had a population like that of Western European countries it be much more unlikely to dominate technology in the next 20 years.

-Since 2002, the percentage of Americans in STEM has not changed, so seeing as the US's position as the top tech nation has not faltered in that time, it seems to indicate no correlation.
-The sheer numbers of students and colleges in the US is astounding compared to the nations above the US on this list. In percentage of students the US is behind but in sheer numbers we still far exceed those nations in STEM graduates.
The 20th Century was the so-called American Century because it dominated so much in that time. There are volumes written (by America hating liberals most likely) about which nation would dominate the 21st Century. We are now almost 1/5 of the way in and there is no change on the horizon.
Sorry Haters.

We'll need some kind of quantitative metric to say this with any certainty, if that's possible at all.
no one even mentioned China?
China probably has 10 times the STEM graduates than USA

Unlikely. Sweden can't even get its social problems under control. Western Europe is going down the toilet.
