"Exploiting" can mean "use productively."
"Exploring" means "to look into," "to examine."

 

[sarcie]

When you "explore" a business opportunity, you investigate it to ascertain its benefits and drawbacks. When you "exploit" a business opportunity, you use it, take advantage of it.
Be aware that "exploit" often has a negative connotation.

Exploiting: usually means making good use of this opportunity or making it an advantage.

Exploring: It's about examining what you have.
