Jordan will hold the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea. The event carries the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend alongside senior European and international officials and investors.
The conference takes place as the region faces an unsettled period. Jordan’s track record of political stability and economic management puts it in a strong position to attract foreign capital and serve as a dependable partner for European governments and businesses.
The event will feature a set of defined investment opportunities across water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These sectors sit at the centre of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision and the projects are structured to allow investors to assess and commit without delay.
A €3 billion European financial package underpins the conference. Drawn from the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership, the funding will flow through instruments designed to reduce risk and support the move from agreement to project delivery.
Jordan’s access to international trade networks broadens the investment case. The country serves as a link in regional and global supply chains and holds trade agreements that open up more than 140 international markets to investors based in the Kingdom.
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.”
Jordan enters this conference with a clear sense of direction. His Majesty King Abdullah II leads a Kingdom that continues to move along its economic path with confidence, reinforcing its position as a regional hub for investment and sustainable development.
