There are increasing evidence that the hard X-ray emission produced by accretion onto stellar mass black holes is always associated to the production of relativistic jets. The study of the high energy emission from known microquasars and the discovery of new ones with INTEGRAL will lead to major progress in our understanding of: 1) the nature of relativistic jets seen elsewhere in the universe, and 2) the connection between the accretion onto compact objects and the formation of collimated jets. Here I give a personal view of the questions that remain unanswered, as well as on the future perspectives that INTEGRAL will open in this field of research. For a detailed account of the major progress already made I refer to the recent review by Mirabel & Rodriguez in ARAA (1999).
