Richárd Vattay, CEO of the company, told szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu that their participation in the Budapest Water Summit of 2016 increased the publicity and visibility of their innovation a lot, though then, they were only at the beginning of their marketing strategy. The fact that the company could introduce itself on a global event helped a lot to start conquering international markets.
In fact, the Water Retainer VízŐr® is an organic soil-conditioning product that can be applied by either spraying on the surface or solved in the irrigation water, with different levels of dilution possible.

The Water Retainer also reduces changes to soil condition caused by drought, and the soil will be able to additionally trap air humidity during high moisture periods (dawn or night vapour formation).
