Amman, July 9 (Petra) — Jordan has invited British companies to
participate in the Jordanian-European Investment Conference,
scheduled to be held in the Kingdom next November, as part of efforts
to strengthen investment partnerships and attract new business
opportunities.

Industry, Trade and Supply Minister Yarub Qudah extended the
invitation during meetings in London with London Chamber of Commerce
and Industry CEO Karim Fatehi and officials from the British
Expertise International network, according to a ministry statement
issued Thursday.

Qudah said the conference will serve as a key platform to showcase
Jordan’s investment opportunities and foster strategic partnerships
between Jordanian and European businesses.

He said Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II,
continues to implement its Economic Modernization Vision by improving
the investment climate, updating legislation, and simplifying
procedures to enhance the competitiveness of the national economy and
create an attractive business environment.

The minister highlighted investment opportunities across key sectors,
including industry, energy, mining, pharmaceuticals, food industries,
information technology, and logistics. He said Jordan’s political and
economic stability, strategic location, skilled workforce, and
extensive network of free trade agreements provide investors with
access to regional and global markets.

Qudah encouraged British companies to leverage these advantages by
establishing Jordan as a regional production and export hub, citing
the Kingdom’s free trade agreements with the United States and
Canada. He said the government remains committed to strengthening
public-private partnerships in line with the Economic Modernization
Vision.

He described the Jordanian-European Investment Conference as an
opportunity for investors to explore priority projects, learn about
investment incentives, and establish direct partnerships with
Jordanian and European companies. He also invited British firms to
participate in the Jordanian-British Business Forum, scheduled to
take place in London later this month.

The minister stressed the importance of expanding engagement between
the business communities of both countries through reciprocal trade
and investment missions to boost bilateral trade and attract new
investments.

For his part, Fatehi reaffirmed the chamber’s commitment to
strengthening economic cooperation with Jordan and expanding business
links between the two countries.

He said the British market offers strong potential for Jordanian
products, particularly agricultural exports, and encouraged British
companies to explore investment opportunities in Jordan and
participate in the Jordanian-European Investment Conference.

The British Expertise International network represents companies
specializing in infrastructure, consulting, engineering, capacity
building, and international development, supporting British firms in
expanding into international markets and building global
partnerships.

The two sides also discussed opportunities to leverage British
expertise in priority sectors targeted under Jordan’s Economic
Modernization Vision to strengthen investment cooperation between
Jordan and the United Kingdom.
