A Versatile Space to Drive Innovation

The Microsoft Café is more than just a meeting space – it’s a vibrant platform for innovation and technology. Each year, our team takes charge of transforming a bowling and billiard venue into the Microsoft Café, creating a brand experience that embodies Microsoft’s identity. Our goal: to showcase the many dimensions of a global brand in a space that’s both inspiring and functional.

A Lounge Atmosphere That Exudes «Tech-Level Efficiency»

The café is designed as a versatile meeting and business center that offers far more than just physical space. In addition to cutting-edge meeting rooms and the CEO’s office, it features a spacious hospitality area for up to 100 guests. The café’s infrastructure is top-notch, combining aesthetics with functionality. Demo stations, cozy lounge areas, and private meeting rooms invite guests to immerse themselves in the Microsoft experience. Every detail is crafted to ensure confidentiality and create the ideal setting for customer engagement and networking.

Over a Decade of Successful Collaboration

The Microsoft Café has become a staple in the WEF’s Red Zone. For the international tech elite and notable figures – from Bono to Bill Gates – the Microsoft Café is an essential destination.

Our efforts result in an environment that’s both welcoming and efficient, from the café itself to the guest management. Our team handles everything – from reserving guest apartments to arranging shuttle services and managing the café – ensuring that the atmosphere and appearance of the café deliver an exceptional customer experience year after year.

«The atmosphere at the Microsoft Café during the WEF is electric and dynamic. Teams work tirelessly, and the support among them is exceptional. Every moment in Davos is spent making the most of our time together.»
