Top executives from Alphabet Inc, Apple Inc and Facebook Inc are among a small group of tech leaders invited to a summit to be held on Wednesday by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Recode reported, citing sources.
Executives from Microsoft Corp, Intel Corp and Oracle Corp will also be among “a very heady group of less than a dozen, comprising most of the key players in the sector” to attend the summit, Recode said.
Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, Oracle CEO Safra Catz and billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla Motors Inc CEO Elon Musk are among those in attendance, Recode and the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
“I plan to tell the president-elect that we are with him and are here to help in any way we can,” Oracle Chief Executive Officer Safra Catz told Reuters in an emailed statement.
“If he can reform the tax code, reduce regulation, and negotiate better trade deals, the U.S. technology community will be stronger and more competitive than ever.”
Amazon.com Inc CEO and founder Jeff Bezos was also invited and is likely to attend, Recode said citing sources with knowledge of the situation.
Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
An Intel spokeswoman and a Microsoft spokesman declined to comment.
The gathering will take place on Wednesday at Trump Tower in New York City, Recode said.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
