The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan will host 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, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend alongside senior European and international officials and investors.
Regional conditions at the time of the conference are likely to remain complex. Against this backdrop, Jordan’s political steadiness and sound economic institutions position it as a stable and attractive base for European and international investors.
The conference will present a portfolio of projects that investors can evaluate and engage with directly. Priority sectors include water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals, each of which forms part of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision.
The Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership provides the structural basis for the event. A €3 billion European financial package will support the projects on offer, channelled through instruments designed to reduce risk and accelerate the path from commitment to delivery.
Jordan’s commercial geography underpins the broader investment case. The country sits at the junction of regional and global supply chains and holds trade agreements that give investors access to more than 140 international markets.
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.”
The timing of this conference reflects a deliberate choice. Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, continues to advance its economic agenda with clarity and confidence, and the event adds another layer to its standing as a regional centre for investment and sustained economic development.
