1 episode · Startup Spotlights (Series)

Scott Chambers is a forward-thinking tech entrepreneur and the Co-CEO of Seafood Souq, a UAE-based technology company he leads alongside Fahim Al Qasimi. Founded in 2018, Seafood Souq is a vertically integrated B2B marketplace and digital ecosystem designed to tackle the severe transparency and sustainability challenges of the global seafood industry—a sector where an estimated 30% of products are mislabelled globally. Under Scott's leadership, the company pioneered the SFS technology suite, a cutting-edge traceability system that successfully digitizes the seafood journey from 'bait to plate'. Filmed live at Expand North Star (ENS) 2025, Scott joined host Erika Welch to explore the realities of founding and scaling a company in the UAE, diving into Dubai's dynamic startup ecosystem, the strategic timing of fundraising, and the commercialization model behind Seafood Souq. If you're wondering why end-to-end traceability matters for both businesses and end consumers, how technology can physically track fish from source to market, and what the massive emerging opportunities in global aquaculture are, you should give this podcast a go.
