Abstract: 
Biotechnology is an emerging field. It can foster economic expansion through scientific advancements. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are integral in this perspective as Biotechnology SMEs strongly support innovation and agility. This article elaborates on the role of bioinformatics as it is a pivotal element of biotechnology. It helps SMEs to analyze biological data using computational tools, which foster their economy and make them successful. This study has thrown light on core ideas of biotechnology and bioinformatics, investigated the distinctive position of SMEs, and unfolded the challenges they face, and the economic impacts. The study analyzes case studies to demonstrate how SMEs can increase their productivity and innovation by incorporating bioinformatics into their operations. Moreover, this study shed light on challenges, opportunities, and future trends in adopting bioinformatics. This article aims to address how small and medium-sized biotech businesses might strategically use bioinformatics for innovation and to promote economic growth.
