The authors introduce the notion of symplectic microfolds and symplectic micromorphisms. They form a monoidal category, which is a version of the ``category'' of symplectic manifolds and canonical relations obtained by localizing them around lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of Milnor's microbundles. Symplectic microfolds are equivalence classes \((M,A)\) of pairs consisting of a symplectic manifold \(M\) and a Lagrangian submanifold \(A\subset M\), called the core. The equivalence reflects the fact that these objects really describe the geometry of a neighborhood of \(A\) in \(M\). This extended category can be used as a sort of heuristic guideline in an attempt to quantize Poisson manifolds in a geometric way, see [\textit{A. Weinstein}, Noncommutative geometry and geometric quantization. Symplectic Geometry and Mathematical Physics, Symplectic geometry and mathematical physics, Proc. Colloq., Aix-en- Provence/ Fr. 1990, Prog. Math. 99, 446--461 (1991; Zbl 0756.58022)].
