WALL, NJ--(Marketwired - May 2, 2016) - BIO-key International, Inc. (OTCQB: BKYI), an innovative provider of biometric software and hardware solutions for stronger user authentication, today announced the appointment of Pieter Knook to BIO-key's Board of Directors. The addition enhances the global presence of BIO-key's board to three internationally based directors and expands the board to eight members.

Pieter's experience can immediately add value to BIO-key's current marketing alliance with Microsoft as well as our efforts to expand our footprint in both Europe and Asia."
