Microsoft and McKinsey pay up to $1 million each to back Donald Trump’s Davos hub

Microsoft and McKinsey are among the US companies paying up to $1 million (CHF790,000) each to sponsor a Davos venue that will serve as a base for US government officials during President Donald Trump’s trip to the World Economic Forum (WEF) later this month. Paying to back the venue, housed in a small church in the Swiss ski resort, would give big companies the opportunity to “support the US delegation in Davos” and get their brand in front of “global decision makers”, according to a website set up for the so-called USA House.
