This study was conducted to determine the effect of intellectual capital and government support on competitive advantage and its implications on the performance of MSMEs in the food and beverage processing industry in West Java. In a sample of 250 MSMEs, this study used Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 3 to analyze the data. The results showed that intellectual capital and government support significantly increased competitive advantage, which positively affected MSME performance. Intellectual capital also directly affected MSME performance, with government support showing an indirect effect through competitive advantage. These findings emphasize the importance of leveraging intellectual capital and accessing government support to improve the industry's competitive advantage and overall MSME performance.
