Technology about to appear in time for nation (7)
I believe the answer is:
eritrea
'for nation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'technology about to appear in time' is the wordplay.
'technology' becomes 'it'.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'to appear in' is an insertion indicator.
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
'it'+'re'='itre'
'itre' put into 'era' is 'ERITREA'.
(Other definitions for eritrea that I've seen before include "African country, capital Asmara" , "It declared its independence from Ethiopia in 1993" , "part of Africa" , "Country in the Horn of Africa" , "It became independent of Ethiopia in 1993" .)
