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.

The conference takes shape as much of the surrounding region contends with instability and uncertainty. Jordan’s settled political environment and its consistent economic record position it as a practical and credible destination for investors looking to deploy capital in the Middle East.

Organisers have put together a project portfolio spanning water security, green energy, digital infrastructure, and strategic minerals. These sectors are central to Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision, and the projects on offer are at a stage where investors can assess them and move forward.

The Jordan–EU Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership provides the basis for the event. A European financial package of €3 billion will back the projects through instruments that reduce investor risk and support delivery within defined timeframes.

Trade access forms part of the investment case. Jordan holds agreements with countries that together account for more than 140 international markets, and its geographic position makes it a natural link in regional and global supply chains.

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.”

Holding this conference at this point sends a clear signal about Jordan’s direction. His Majesty King Abdullah II leads a Kingdom that continues to move forward with purpose, building on its established role as a hub for investment and economic development across the region.
