Black Lake Technologies CEO showcases AI for manufacturing efficiency

At the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 (AEF 2026) in Ho Chi Minh City, Yuxiang Zhou, founder and CEO of Black Lake Technologies, demonstrated an artificial intelligence application capable of transforming technical drawings into production instructions. The AI reportedly reduces the process time from 45 hours to just 45 seconds with approximately 95% accuracy.

The forum, organized by the HCMC Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, featured discussions on repositioning Vietnam and ASEAN within global value chains. Experts noted that while ASEAN represents the world's fifth-largest market with an economic scale of approximately $4 trillion, regional integration gaps remain a challenge for maximizing collective potential.
