Navigating Legitimacy in the European Green Transition

A case study of Ocean Rainforest in the EU seaweed industry

Examines how institutional pressures and stakeholder expectations shape SMEs' ability to gain legitimacy in the EU market. Using a Faroese seaweed scale-up as a case, the thesis shows that legitimacy is built through evidence, stakeholder alignment, and strategic sequencing — not regulatory compliance alone.
