Led by Microsoft's Bill Gates and Google's Eric Schmidt, the U.S. high-tech industry is well represented at the World Economic Forum, which opens Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland.
The event offers business and political leaders an opportunity to schmooze in a mountainous setting, and it gives executives like Gates and Schmidt -- fierce competitors in their daily business lives -- the chance to let their hair down.
This year, discussion will focus on what organizers are calling the "Shifting Power Equation" by identifying business shifts that climate change could cause.
