Singapore tech company ION Mobility was among some 45 companies that featured at the Indonesia International Motor Show last month.“We're using these trade shows to do what I call incrementally soft, but firmer launches to appear more, frequency-wise, in the eyes of our consumers,” said Mr James Chan, founder and CEO of ION Mobility.
