The Digger Foundation is a Swiss based, non-profit organisation offering technological solutions in humanitarian demining. Operating under the name of DIGGER DTR, it develops, implements and markets mine clearance technologies to assist mine clearers and significantly increase the efficiency of their work, which is in turn also made less dangerous and expensive.
