The Jordanian ministerial delegation continued its European tour in Dublin, as part of preparations for the upcoming Jordan–European Investment Conference. The delegation includes Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Eng. Sami Smeirat, Minister of Investment Dr. Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, and Jordan’s Ambassador to Ireland Manar Dabbas.
During the visit, the delegation met Ireland’s Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, Neale Richmond, and Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, Niamh Smyth. Discussions focused on strengthening economic and investment cooperation and coordinating efforts ahead of the conference scheduled for April 21 this year.
The delegation also held high-level meetings with diplomats and Irish government officials, alongside senior representatives of European companies and global advisory institutions operating in the fields of investment, infrastructure, technology, energy, and financial consulting.
As part of the tour, the delegation met with Jordanians working in leading international companies and global economic institutions to discuss international best practices in attracting foreign direct investment, enhancing pro-growth policies, and improving the business environment.
Minister Smeirat highlighted Jordan’s promising and stable investment climate, particularly in digital transformation and technology sectors, noting that the ICT sector represents a key pillar for investment growth. He emphasized the Kingdom’s qualified human capital and the presence of numerous local, regional, and international companies operating in Jordan.
He also pointed to Jordan’s advanced digital infrastructure, which facilitates business operations, combined with a competitive tax regime for the technology sector—factors that strengthen investor confidence and reinforce Jordan’s position as a regional hub for digital services and innovation.
For his part, Minister Abu Ghazaleh stated that the European tour forms part of an integrated strategy to deepen economic partnerships with European countries and showcase investment projects and priority sectors ahead of the Jordan–EU Investment Conference.
He underscored Jordan’s competitive advantages, supported by a modern legislative and procedural framework that ensures a stable and enabling business environment. He also highlighted promising opportunities in transport, energy, technology, water, and value-added industries, in addition to public-private partnership (PPP) projects that offer sustainable investment prospects.
Ambassador Dabbas emphasized the importance of building on the strong relationship between Ireland and Jordan to further enhance economic and investment ties between the two friendly countries, particularly as the Jordan–European Investment Conference approaches in April.
