On 21 April, Jordan will host the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 at the Dead Sea. The event takes place under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attending alongside senior European and international officials and investors.
The region’s growing complexity forms the backdrop for the conference. Jordan’s stability and its capacity to maintain economic momentum in difficult conditions reinforce its position as a dependable partner and a credible destination for long-term investment.
The conference will feature a structured set of investment opportunities across water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These areas reflect the priorities set out in Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision and represent projects that are ready for investor consideration.
The Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership provides the foundation. A European financial package of €3 billion will support the work, deployed through instruments that manage risk and help projects reach implementation without undue delay.
Jordan’s access to international markets adds to the picture. The country serves as a trade gateway connected to more than 140 markets through its network of trade agreements, offering investors a base with broad commercial reach.
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 event from a stable footing. With His Majesty King Abdullah II providing leadership and strong institutions in place, the Kingdom continues to advance its economic trajectory and cement its role as a regional centre for investment and growth.
