This study examines the impact of government support, access to finance, and entrepreneurial skills on the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) operating within emerging industrial clusters. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from MSME owners and managers through a structured questionnaire, with a total of [insert sample size] valid responses analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The measurement model demonstrated strong reliability and validity, while the structural model revealed that all three factors significantly influenced MSME growth. Access to finance emerged as the strongest predictor (β = 0.362, p < 0.001), followed by entrepreneurial skills (β = 0.298, p < 0.01) and government support (β = 0.254, p < 0.05). The model explained 54.6% of the variance in MSME growth, indicating substantial explanatory power. These findings underscore the necessity of integrated development strategies that combine policy facilitation, financial inclusion, and capacity-building to foster sustainable MSME performance in cluster environments. The study contributes to the resource-based view and institutional theory by demonstrating that both internal capabilities and external enablers are critical for MSME success in emerging economies.
