Jordan will host the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea. The event takes place 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.
Regional conditions at present are difficult. Jordan’s stability and its ability to maintain economic momentum in this environment make it a sound choice for investors seeking a reliable foothold in the Middle East.
The conference will present a well-defined set of investment opportunities in water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These areas are central to Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, and the projects have been prepared to allow investors to engage and make decisions.
The Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership underpins the event. A €3 billion European financial package will support the projects, channelled through instruments that manage risk on behalf of investors and help ensure timely delivery.
Jordan’s geography and trade agreements broaden the investment proposition. The country links regional and global supply chains and provides access to more than 140 international markets, giving investors a commercially well-connected base.
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’s decision to host this event now is a statement in itself. Under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II and with its institutions functioning well, the Kingdom continues on its economic course and builds on its position as a trusted centre for regional investment and growth.
