Justin Di-Lang Ho

Justin Di-Lang Ho grew up watching his parents work in healthcare, aware of the discrepancy between what research labs produce and what actually reaches patients. His Hong Kong start-up Agilis Robotics pioneered the Intilume system—ultra-thin, flexible robotic instruments that operate through the body’s natural openings without incisions. The company, which raised US$10 million in its Series A+ funding round, performed the world’s first robotic-assisted en bloc resection of a bladder tumour in 2024 and won the Best Design Award at the 2025 Surgical Robot Challenge by Imperial College London.
