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.
Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla Motors Inc CEO Elon Musk will
also be in attendance, 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.
