Dive into the heart of humanitarian demining with Expo Digger.

Discover a unique interactive exhibition about the incredible journey of the Digger Foundation, which has been designing demining machines for over 25 years. These machines have been used in 17 countries around the world.

Located in Tavannes, right at the production site of these revolutionary machines, Expo Digger immerses you in the daily life of humanitarian demining experts. Through realistic scenarios, explore the challenges of this extraordinary profession and witness the impact of solutions that restore hope and dignity to thousands of people.

Danger alert! Hidden beneath rubble or buried underground, antipersonnel mines are invisible. Will you be able to detect them?
Precision and composure required. Manual demining techniques demand patience and meticulousness. Do you have the nerves of steel needed for the task?
Put yourself to the test! Put on a deminer’s gear and feel the weight of danger… and responsibility.
Experience an immersive, educational, and emotional journey. Will you dare to take on the challenge?
