BOSTON—Executives at Boston-based startup accelerator program MassChallenge had a role in luring General Electric Co. to Boston.

Scott Bailey, MassChallenge's managing director, said he met with officials of GE several weeks ago to tout the city's startup and innovation sector.

Bailey said the GE officials were excited about the young, up-and-coming talent pool, the amount of research and development work going on in Boston, and the overall innovation activity.
