Clarifying the characteristics of the system design of Collaboration organization brings us to the light of understanding the activation of German Collaboration with Universities and Industries. So as an example, I have conducted comparative study on two different types of organizations, University-Industry Collaboration Association which is the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. As a result, some common features were found; 1) A deep involvement of University Professors to the institute, and the system that support them, 2) Established research and education system as an attractive career field for students, 3) Good balance of support and competition in finance. 4) Intellectual property strategy. These similarities can be implemented to Japanese University-Industry Collaboration in the future.
