We present the cross-section for the threshold production of the Higgs boson at hadron-colliders at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N³LO) in perturbative QCD. Furthermore, we present an analytic expression for the partonic cross-section at threshold and the impact of these corrections on the numerical estimates for the hadronic cross-section at the LHC. With this result we achieve a major milestone towards a complete evaluation of the cross-section at N³LO which will reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the determination of the strengths of the Higgs boson interactions.
