The present study aimed to investigate the effect of internationalization on innovation performance through market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation in SMEs in Isfahan province. The study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive and survey in terms of nature and method. The population was 80 units of SMEs in Isfahan province and a sample of 66 managers who were determined by the Cochran formula and selected by purposive sampling method. Simultaneous analysis of the relationships between variables and validation of the proposed model were conducted using the SEM-PLS method. The findings showed that although the degree of internationalization did not have a direct and significant effect on innovation performance (t=1.26 and β=0.869); however, this relationship was confirmed through two indirect paths and with full mediation of market orientation (t=2.88 and β=0.846); and entrepreneurial orientation (t=2.24 and β=0.686). Also, market orientation with a coefficient of 0.933 and entrepreneurial orientation with a coefficient of 0.886 had a positive and significant direct effect on innovation performance. The coefficient of determination (R²) of the model for the innovation performance variable was 0.89, indicating a strong fit of the structural model. The results show that in SMEs in Isfahan province, internationalization alone does not lead to the promotion of innovation; rather, this effect requires strengthening the culture of market orientation and entrepreneurial spirit in the organization. The findings of this study, emphasizing the specific conditions of the Iranian economy, can provide valuable guidelines for managers and policymakers to improve innovation performance through international activities.
