Towards this direction, a set of 5G PPP projects are providing contributions for tackling aspects related to the overall lifecycle of 5G vertical applications design, development and deployment, including the activation and management of the appropriate network services. In this paper, a cartography of a set of novel solutionsfacilitating the adoption of 5G technologies by vertical industries ispresented, aiming at identifying set of challenges and relevantsolutions as well as potential synergies among the related projects.6application/pdfeng© 2018 IEEE5G PPPSDNNFVMEC OrchestrationSoftware development kitVertical industriesconference posterTelecomunicacioneshttps://doi.org/10.1109/EuCNC.2018.8442656open access1301352018 European Conference on Networks and Communications (EuCNC)CC/0000027914
