The Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the European Union are pleased to announce that the Jordan-EU Investment Conference 2026, will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein and with the participation of Her Excellency Ursula von der Leyen, on 19 November 2026 at the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea.
The EU and the Government of Jordan reaffirm their close and longstanding partnership and their shared commitment to strengthening economic cooperation, promoting sustainable growth, and deepening trade and investment ties between their business communities.
Tailor-made for investors, companies and financial institutions, the Conference will provide an important platform to showcase Jordan's attractive investment environment, highly skilled workforce and strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, creating new opportunities for partnerships between Jordanian and European businesses. Building on the strong momentum generated by recent engagements with the European business community, the Conference will further support efforts to mobilise investment, foster innovation, strengthen competitiveness and create quality jobs.
The event comes at a time of deepening cooperation between Jordan and the EU under the Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership launched in January 2025, which is supported by a €3 billion financial and investment package for the period 2025–2027.
The Conference will bring together senior government representatives, investors, financial institutions, business leaders and entrepreneurs from Jordan, the EU and beyond. Discussions will focus on investment opportunities across key sectors, including renewable energy, clean technologies, digital economy, manufacturing, logistics and infrastructure, while highlighting Jordan's role as a stable and reliable partner in the region. Throughout the programme, selected flagship projects that demonstrate the strength of the EU-Jordan partnership, including the Aqaba–Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance Project and the Aqaba Digital Hub, will be showcased as key examples of Jordan’s potential as a regional gateway.
Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, Minister of Investment of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, said:
"Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision creates a clear, long-term roadmap that aligns closely with EU priorities around sustainable growth, innovation, and regional stability. By strengthening regulatory frameworks, advancing high-value sectors, and improving the investment climate, it reinforces Jordan’s role as a trusted partner—giving European investors the confidence to scale their presence and commit to long-term investment.
Today’s conference is a key milestone—it brings together leaders and investors to translate partnership into concrete opportunities, driving investment and strengthening cooperation across priority sectors.”
European Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica, added:
"Jordan is a key partner for the European Union and a vital bridge between Europe and the wider Middle East region. The Jordan-EU Investment Conference 2026 reflects our shared ambition to translate the Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership into tangible opportunities for businesses, investors and citizens. By bringing together the public and private sectors, we aim to unlock new investment, support innovation, create jobs and build sustainable prosperity through stronger economic ties and partnerships.
