Summary/Abstract: The Wales Summit has meant a leap forward for Defense Budgets in Member States. In accordance to decisions taken during the Summit member countries will allocate two percent from their GDP in order to increase Defense Expenditures in military aquisitions, building capabilities, being part of different military exercises with fellow NATO member states. These decisions mean a possible development of the defense industry of member states. It is the purpose of this paper to follow an example of the Romanian Defense Industry, namely IAR Brasov who has been developing military helicopters for almost 100 years. It is the aim of this paper to analyse how Romania s membership in NATO has impacted the economic evolution of IAR.
