The paper contains an exposition of a program initiated separately by the author, M. Karasev and S. Zakrewski. The geometric quantization of objects called symplectic groupoids is suggested as a means for relating the symplectic and Poisson manifolds of classical mechanics to noncommutative algebras. These algebras are of fundamental importance in quantum mechanics. They have also become of increasing interest because of their applications to geometry and to certain Hopf algebras called quantum groups.
