THE 11th CAREER DAY NEUROSCIENCE 2026

Susan Wache

Susan Wache holds a master’s degree in cognitive science and founded her startup 10 years ago. Through her company, feelSpace GmbH, she develops and markets a navigation belt for blind individuals that uses vibration signals to indicate direction. After completing her studies—first earning a bachelor’s degree in biology in Berlin, followed by a degree in cognitive science—she began a Ph.D. in neurobiopsychology at Osnabrück University. However, she was unsure whether she wanted to pursue a career in research. After three years, she decided to leave academia and co-founded feelSpace to transform her research into a real-world application. Today, Susan combines her role as a founder with family life and is the mother of a young daughter.
