The widespread implementation of 5G and 6G technologies is poised to revolutionise a broad spectrum of sectors, including automotive, smart cities, Industry 4.0, and media. These advancements, driven by the potential for ground-breaking reallife applications such as autonomous vehicles, sophisticated urban management systems, and smart manufacturing, provide transformative practical solutions forindustries. Through the 5G PPP programme (2014-2023), Europe has been at the forefront of integrating these technologies, viewing the transition as not just technological but as a broad societal transformation. In this context, significant investments have been channelled into research and innovation, standardisation, and the development of practical applications across various sectors. This has included extensive trial and pilot projects to test and refine 5G applications, contributing to the development of an online tool, the Verticals Cartography. This tool maps 5G use cases sponsored by 5G PPP and assesses readiness across different sectors, identifying gaps and trends for future development. This white paper examines the functionality and impact of the Verticals Cartography tool, detailing its role in tracking 5G advancements. In particular, it showcases key datasets on emerging trends to understand industry-specific applications, guide future policy, and devise effective industry standards.
