Jordan will host the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea. His Majesty King Abdullah II will serve as patron, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will join senior European and international officials and investors at the event.
The conference takes place as regional conditions grow more complex. Jordan’s stability and consistent economic performance support its standing as a reliable investment destination and a key partner for European governments and business communities.
The organising team is preparing a set of clearly scoped, investment-ready projects across water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. Each of these areas forms part of the country’s Economic Modernisation Vision.
The conference converts the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership into deals that can be financed and built. A €3 billion European financial package will fund this process through instruments structured to reduce risk and bring projects to delivery.
Jordan’s place in regional trade routes adds to its appeal as an investment location. The country connects supply chains to markets across the region and internationally, supported by trade agreements that cover more than 140 markets.
Minister of Investment, Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, said: “The Conference is focused on presenting investors with clearly defined, executable opportunities that enable direct engagement in high-value projects within a stable and competitive business environment. It is designed to facilitate partnerships and translate opportunities into tangible investments.”
He added: “The Conference will serve as a results-oriented platform, featuring sector-specific tracks and structured business engagements, including B2B and G2B meetings, aimed at accelerating investment flows and strengthening private–public collaboration.”
EU Ambassador Pierre-Christophe Chatzizavas highlighted: “We are proud to announce the EU-Jordan Investment Conference, a high-level event marked by the participation of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This signals the strength and resilience of our partnership, especially in times of regional uncertainty. The conference marks the start of a renewed, elevated collaboration that will bring our business communities closer together and unlock new opportunities, stimulating greater EU investment in Jordan’s dynamic economy.”
Choosing to host this conference now reflects the direction Jordan has set for itself. The Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, continues to advance its economic agenda and strengthen its role as a centre for investment and growth across the region.
