The statistical population of the study was senior managers and employees of knowledge enterprise located in the Science and Technology Park of Tehran University and Tarbiat Modares, who had exports or international economic activities and from 260 of them 155 people were selected using the available sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire whose reliability has been confirmed with Cronbach's alpha of 0.783. The results show that the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation have a positive and significant effect on strategic renewal in knowledge enterprises. Strategic renewal, with a coefficient of 0.788, directly leads to more successful internationalization of knowledge enterprises and the mediating role of strategic renewal in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and internationalization has been confirmed. The moderating effect of human capital development variable on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and strategic renewal and the moderating effect of the dynamic capabilities variable on the relationship between strategic renewal and internationalization have been confirmed with coefficients of 0.286 and 0.374, respectively.
