Jordan will hold the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea, under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend, along with senior European and international officials and investors.
The conference takes place against a backdrop of regional instability. Jordan’s political steadiness and economic resilience put it in a sound position as an investment destination and a strategic partner for European institutions.
Organisers are putting together a portfolio of projects that investors can assess and act on. The priority sectors are water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals, all of which feature in Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision.
The conference gives concrete shape to the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. A European financial package worth €3 billion will support the projects through instruments designed to reduce risk and move implementation forward.
Jordan’s location strengthens the overall offer. The country serves as a link between regional and global supply chains, and its trade agreements give investors access to more than 140 international 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 to Jordan, 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.”
Hosting this conference at this point in time sends a clear message about where Jordan stands. With His Majesty King Abdullah II at the helm, and strong institutions behind it, the Kingdom moves forward on its economic course and builds further on its place as a regional hub for investment and sustainable growth.
