Abstract: This study examines the relationships among entrepreneurial opportunity, socio-economic development, and economic competitiveness in the 33 upper-middle-income economies. An empirical framework and three hypotheses are developed to test the relationships. Results indicate that entrepreneurial opportunity has substantial influence on socio-economic development and economic competitiveness. In addition, socio-economic development has a strong impact on economic growth and plays a mediating role to link entrepreneurial opportunity and economic growth. From the research results, the study finds that strengthening entrepreneurial opportunity is an effective way in boosting socio-economic development and economic competitiveness; and economic competitiveness and socio-economic development are integral for fostering significant entrepreneurial opportunities in the developing markets.
