Relativistic outflows are a common phenomenon in accreting black holes. Despite the enormous differences in scale, accreting stellar-mass black holes (X-ray binaries, collapsars) and super-massive black holes produce jets with analogous physical properties. Here I review microquasars as sources of relativistic jets, gamma-rays, cosmic rays, and high energy neutrinos.
