This research aims to explain the strategy of the Industrial SME Cooperative Service in collaborating to advance MSMEs. Collaborative Governance Research Results, De Seve (2007:50) are as follows: Network Structure, the type of collaboration structure applied is Self Governance. Commitment to a common purpose has a different goal than in theory. Trust among the participants, that is, there is trust between stakeholders seen from the running of the collaborative program. Governance, Boundaries, and exclusivity have been fulfilled. Rules have yet to be fulfilled, while self-determination and network management have yet to be implemented firmly. Access to authority, there is a legal basis for implementing the MSME Strengthening and Development program. Distributive Accountability, there are procedures for implementing activities in the form of SOPs made by the Industrial SME Cooperative Service.
