Just before the commercial roll-out of European 5G networks, 5G trials in realistic environments have been recently initiated all around Europe, as part of the Phase 3 projects of 5GPPP H2020 program [1]. The goal is to showcase 5G's capabilities and to convince stakeholders about its valueadding business potential. The approach is to offer advanced 5G connectivity to real vertical industries and showcase how it enables them to overcome existing 4G network limitation and other long-standing issues. The 5G EVE H2020 5GPPP project [2] offers cutting-edge 5G end-to-end facilities (in 4 countries) to diversified vertical industry experimenters. The objective is to understand the needs of prominent industries across Europe and to offer tailor-made 5G experience to each and every one of them. This paper contributes to the understanding of vertical services' needs, by offering a thorough and concise vertical requirements analysis methodology, including an examination of the 4G limitations. It also provides real-life values for the targeted KPIs of 3 vertical sectors namely Smart Industry (4.0), Smart Cities / Health and Smart Energy, while assisting market roll-out by prioritizing their connectivity needs.
