The Chief Executive Officer of Apple Inc, Steve Jobs, was in Northern California this Friday in a meeting with the elite of Silicone Valley. Apart from the heads of technology giants, the meeting was also attended by the US President Barack Obama.

Jobs was accompanied by the Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg; Chief Executive Officer for Google, Eric Schmidt; Larry Ellison of Oracle and many other top technology sector personalities. The event was held at the estate of a renowned venture capitalist in San Francisco.

The 55-year old pioneer in the technology sector has been known for providing the world with one of the most cutting edge devices through Apple. It was only last month that Jobs had gone on a month’s medical leave from office. This is the third occasion in seven years that he has had to stay away from office because of poor health.

The meeting was held to infuse technology giants with the energy to introduce products that help in changing the market and result in improved economic conditions. He was on the two day visit to try and reduce the high levels of unemployment currently facing the country.

Press Secretary for the White House, Jay Carney, said, "The president specifically discussed his proposals to invest in research and development and expand incentives for companies to grow and hire, along with his goal of doubling exports over five years to support millions of American jobs".
