For entrepreneurs, strategic opportunity identification, evaluation, and execution in complex and uncertain situations is becoming more crucial than resources or market access. Strategic opportunity awareness illustrates entrepreneurial intelligence’s complex impact on entrepreneurial decision-making and long-term value growth. Opportunity recognition, entrepreneurial cognition, creativity, and strategic competence have been studied independently in entrepreneurship literature, but nothing has been done to integrate them into a framework that explains how entrepreneurs operate strategically. The analysis of entrepreneurial intelligence includes cognitive, emotional, social, strategic, and creative intelligence. The essay examines strategic opportunity recognition as a flow of detection, evaluation, exploitation, and sustainability. Organisational variables, environmental factors, digital entrepreneurship, AI, globalisation, and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship affect entrepreneurial outcomes. The findings suggest that entrepreneurial intelligence helps entrepreneurs assess environmental signals, make informed decisions, adapt to uncertainty, and turn emerging chances into sustainable opportunities. Learning, technology, and environment affect opportunity recognition, which is iterative and adaptive, according to the study. This study highlights entrepreneurial performance skill building and connects entrepreneurial intelligence with strategic opportunity recognition. Entrepreneurial intelligence boosts opportunity quality, adaptability, innovation, and competitiveness. The study presents a multidimensional view of entrepreneurial potential and has implications for entrepreneurs, organisations, educators, and governments trying to increase strategic opportunity creation in modern business.
