Jordan will host 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 alongside senior European and international officials and investors.
The region remains in a period of considerable tension. Jordan’s political stability and the strength of its economic institutions place it in a solid position to attract international investment and to act as a credible, long-term partner for European institutions.
The conference will present a project portfolio across four sectors that Jordan has identified as priorities: water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These sit within the Economic Modernisation Vision and are ready for investors to scrutinise and engage with.
The Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership forms the basis for the event. A European financial package of €3 billion will back the projects through instruments that manage investment risk and reduce the gap between commitment and delivery.
Jordan’s geographic position and trade agreements give investors a broad commercial platform. The country connects supply chains across the region and internationally, with market access covering more than 140 countries through its existing trade network.
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.”
The choice to hold this conference now says something clear about Jordan’s trajectory. Under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Kingdom continues to advance its economic agenda and deepen its role as a stable and well-connected hub for regional and international investment.
