From a description of the meeting by a White House official:
The meeting is a part of our ongoing dialogue with the business community on how we can work together to win the future, strengthen our economy, support entrepreneurship, increasing our exports, and get the American people back to work. The President and the business leaders will discuss our shared goal of promoting American innovation, and discuss his commitment to new investments in research and development, education and clean energy.”
A little light-hearted fun from The Oatmeal:

Man…how I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall in that room. That's a lot of genius in one room…
@jmatthicks I agree – I just wish the room were a bit more diverse – more women, more minorities – looking for a true representation of today's strong technology leaders.
