About DocCity

DocCity, founded in 2019 by Xavier Boutin and his associates, operates as both a real estate investor and a service provider for healthcare professionals and biotech companies. The concept originated from Boutin's experience on the executive committee of the private clinic group Elsan, where he identified a critical need to improve the working conditions for doctors. The company's primary mission is to alleviate the administrative and logistical burdens on physicians, allowing them to focus on patient care.

The business operates a multi-faceted model centered on creating and managing next-generation health spaces. For physicians, DocCity offers turnkey, modern consultation offices available for rent with flexible terms, some requiring only a six-month commitment. These spaces come with a suite of managed services, including secretarial support, appointment management, and IT assistance, which are designed to save practitioners significant administrative time. For patients, this model centralizes various stages of the care pathway under one roof, often organizing professionals by specialty, such as sports medicine or cardiology, to improve the clarity and accessibility of care.

Expanding its ecosystem, DocCity also caters to the biotech industry by providing furnished L1 and L2 laboratories, coworking spaces, and offices. This segment of the business aims to accelerate health innovation by offering biotech firms essential infrastructure and services, including equipment, consumables, and waste management, within an environment that fosters collaboration. By situating these facilities near hospitals and medical centers, DocCity creates a synergistic environment where researchers, doctors, and patients are in close proximity. The company has shown significant growth, raising €15 million in May 2020 from family offices and securing a further $32.2 million in a November 2023 venture round to fuel its ambitious goal of opening eight to ten new centers annually.
