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, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will join senior European and international officials and investors at the event.
The conference comes at a time of heightened regional tension. Jordan’s stability and the strength of its institutions give it a clear edge as a destination for foreign investment and as a partner for European governments and businesses operating in the region.
The event will present investors with a prepared portfolio of projects in water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These sectors are priorities within Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, and the projects have been structured to support direct investor engagement.
A €3 billion European financial package will underpin the projects, flowing from the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. The funding will be directed through financial instruments that reduce risk and support projects through the stages from commitment to delivery.
Jordan’s role in regional trade routes adds depth to the offer. The country links supply chains across the region and into international markets, with trade agreements in place that cover more than 140 countries and give investors a wide 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.”
The timing of this conference is a considered choice. Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, continues to advance along its economic path with confidence, and this event adds to its standing as a dependable centre for investment and growth in the region.
