The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan will host the Jordan–EU Investment Conference 2026 on 21 April at the Dead Sea. The event carries the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will attend, joined by senior European and international officials and investors.
The conference comes at a difficult moment for the region. Jordan’s stability and economic track record position it as a credible and dependable location for investment, and as a partner that European institutions can rely on.
The organising team is pulling together a portfolio of projects ready for investment across four priority areas: water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These sectors sit at the heart of Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision.
The conference puts the Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership into action. A €3 billion financial package from Europe will underpin the projects, delivered through instruments that reduce exposure for investors and support faster implementation.
Jordan’s regional standing adds further weight to the offer. The country links regional and global supply chains and has trade agreements in place that open up 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.”
On the European side, 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 decision to hold this conference now reflects the confidence Jordan has in its own institutions and economic path. Under His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Kingdom continues to consolidate its role as a centre for investment and growth in the region.
