Jordan will hold the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea. His Majesty King Abdullah II will serve as patron of the event. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend alongside senior European and international officials and investors.
The conference arrives as regional uncertainty weighs on much of the Middle East. Jordan’s settled political environment and consistent approach to economic policy reinforce its reputation as a reliable destination for investment and a partner that European institutions can engage with confidence.
Organisers have assembled a portfolio of projects across water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These are the priority sectors within Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, and the projects are ready for investor review and engagement.
The event draws directly on the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. A European financial package of €3 billion backs the projects on offer, channelled through instruments that reduce risk for investors and support timely project implementation.
Jordan’s trade position adds substance to the investment proposition. The country acts as a regional trade gateway and holds agreements that provide access to more than 140 international markets, giving investors a commercially strong base from which to operate.
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 holds this conference with a clear sense of where it is headed. Under His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Kingdom continues to build on its economic foundations and strengthen its standing as a trusted regional centre for investment and long-term growth.
