When engineering thinking serves the world

The story of Exodigo is an example of how the Israeli approach to solving complex technical problems finds application in the civilian sphere. Founded by veterans of elite military units, the company has created a solution that is now changing the construction industry worldwide.

Their technology allows for creating accurate three-dimensional maps of what lies underground without a single excavation. Behind this elegance are years of engineering development and deep expertise in underground scanning.

From California to Europe

Today, Israeli technology operates where the future is being built. The high-speed railway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, gas pipelines in Italy and France, New York’s transportation systems — everywhere that needs to know what lies beneath the ground trusts Israeli developments.

The company is valued at $700 million, and these are not just numbers — it’s recognition that the “nation of startups” has once again offered the world something no one else could do before.

Solving real problems

In construction, there’s an old joke: the most expensive part of a project is the surprises underground. A damaged gas pipeline, an unexpected rock, old communications — all this can turn construction into a nightmare. Israeli engineers solved this problem elegantly: they learned to see everything in advance.

For builders, this means fewer risks; for cities, fewer accidents; for all of us, safer infrastructure. The technology also has the potential to solve security tasks in various areas.

The Israeli approach to innovation

What’s special about the Israeli way of creating technology? The ability to find unexpected solutions for complex problems. Israeli engineers are accustomed to working with limited resources and high demands, which forces them to think creatively.

Exodigo is an example of an Israeli company that found a way to improve people’s lives around the world. It’s part of the Israeli technological culture: taking complex engineering challenges and creating solutions useful for everyone.

Looking into the future

Today, the technology helps build roads and buildings. Tomorrow, it could change agriculture, helping farmers better understand their land, or forestry, showing how tree roots grow. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.

Of the company’s 80 employees, 60 were called up for service during the war — a reality many Israeli tech companies live with. But even in difficult times, Israeli innovations continue to serve the world, proving that technology is a bridge between peoples.

Exodigo shows: when you have talent, necessity, and a willingness to think anew, the size of the country doesn’t matter. What’s important is what you can give to the world.
