This study explores the relationships among Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, and internationalisation strategies, and their influence on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Focusing on the Visegrad chemical sector, the research employs a novel quantitative tool to measure AI adoption across 136 SMEs. The findings reveal a significant relationship between EO and effective AI integration, underscoring EO’s central role in enhancing technological competitiveness and facilitating global market expansion. The study also sheds light on the EO–performance connection within this specific regional and industrial context, offering broader insights for transition economies and high-tech sectors. By addressing gaps in the existing literature, it contributes to the growing discourse on technology-driven entrepreneurship. The practical and policy implications stress the importance of strengthening EO and technological capabilities to support sustain growth and improve organisational performance amid rapid digital transformation and global economic change.
