Intura at INTI 2026: Three Days on the Floor at Indonesia Technology & Innovation

INTI 2026 — Indonesia Technology & Innovation — is a three-day technology exhibition and conference held 11–13 August 2026 at the Jakarta International Expo in Kemayoran, Jakarta, billed by its organisers as "The Nation's Largest Hub for Tech, AI, Cloud, Cyber & Industrial Intelligence".

The part that surprises first-time visitors is the structure. INTI is not one exhibition; inti.asia lists more than sixteen co-located expos and summits running in parallel under a single ticket and a single roof. A data-centre buyer, a drone operator, a hospital IT lead, and a marketing director are all walking the same halls on the same day.

That bundling is deliberate, and it is the reason the floor feels less like a trade fair and more like a cross-section of Indonesian industry. KADIN — the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry — is listed as the official institution partner, alongside government ministries and industry associations.

Because the question our customers ask has moved, and a show floor is the fastest place to hear it in the wild. People no longer only type a category into Google — they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity which vendor to pick, and Google answers a growing share of queries with an AI Overview before anyone scrolls.

You can read that in a survey. It lands differently when a manufacturing IT manager stops at your banner, types his own company name into ChatGPT on your screen, and reads a description of his business that is two years out of date. That happened more than once at A3-50B, and it is a better sales argument than any slide we own.

Our read: an expo of this shape is worth it for a service business when the product is invisible until it is demonstrated. Nobody queues for a booth to hear about "AI search optimization". They queue to see what the machines say about them.

One question, printed large enough to read from the aisle: "Is your brand in the answer?" The stand ran a free AI visibility report — we pull how ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Gemini, and Perplexity describe a brand, score information coverage, accuracy, and citation rate, and hand the result over in under a minute.

The rest was deliberately plain. Two roll-up banners, a screen showing the report as it generated, flyers headlined "Build your AI search presence", and a table of stickers, pens, and tumblers that did more conversational work than any of them. Stand A3-50B sat in Hall A3 between A3-51 and API.CO.ID.

The most common reaction was not a question about pricing. It was silence, then a screenshot — people photographing what an AI assistant had just said about their own company.

Intura also presented at the Open Source Workshop, one of INTI 2026's co-located programme tracks, on a stage carrying the INTI mark and Ubuntu branding. The pitch in one line, from the slide behind the mic: we help brands become the first mention on AI Search, Google, and social media.

The room was a mix of engineers and open-source people rather than marketers, which sharpened the questions. The most useful one, roughly: if the model already knows my product from my docs, why would I pay anyone? Fair. The honest answer is that models mostly do not know your product from your docs — they know whatever the wider web said about it, which for most Indonesian companies is thin, dated, or somebody else's summary.

Intura was founded in 2025 and is backed by Antler and Google for Startups; both relationships predate this event and are documented elsewhere on this site.

For a small team, the value was concentrated in three things rather than lead volume. Here is what we'd tell another founder weighing the stand fee:

What it is not: a lead-generation machine with a clean payback in week one. Expo leads at this kind of show are wide and shallow, and the work of qualifying them starts after the halls close.

Visitor registration for INTI runs through the organiser's form at form.cngme.com/visit/indo-tech, and the full programme, floor plan, and co-located expo list live at inti.asia.

It suits you if you buy or specify technology — cloud, connectivity, security, industrial systems, devices — or if you are a founder who needs to meet twenty relevant strangers in a day. It suits you less if you want deep, single-topic conference content; the breadth that makes INTI useful for discovery is the same breadth that keeps individual tracks short.

The follow-ups from A3-50B are being worked through the same way we run any audit: check what the assistants currently say, find where the answer is wrong or missing, then fix the source material they read.
