The purpose of the inquiry is to explore the significance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Bangladesh. The research used mixed methods in view of its objectives, with a number of statistical analyses performed, including descriptive studies, validity tests, reliability analyses, and one-sample t-tests. Findings: SMEs positively contribute to the realization of the SDGs by, among other things, providing economic benefits to owners and workers, reducing poverty, advancing gender equality, and job generation. Though many owners are not aware of the SDGs, the literature analysis showed that SMEs have a huge influence on attaining these goals. As a result, the report will inform policymakers of the need to direct efforts toward achieving Goal 17, which deals with small and medium-sized enterprises, as one of the sustainable development goals by the year 2030. The current research in Bangladesh aims to determine the possible contribution that SMEs could make to the realization of SDGs. This is a completely unexplored area. This study's findings would fill a gap in the existing literature in this area.
